Les oeuures de Philon Iuif, autheur tres-eloquent, et philosophe tres-graue : contenans l'interpretation de plusieurs diuins & sacrez mysteres, & l'instruction d'vn chacun en toutes bonnes & sainctes moeurs
A 1575 Paris edition of Philo of Alexandria's works, translated into French by Pierre Bellier and printed by Nicolas Chesneau for a learned readership interested in Jewish philosophy and scripture. The four pictures are near-identical repeats of one ornamental headpiece or border, a dense horizontal band of scrolling acanthus, masks and central cartouche in woodcut, useful to a designer seeking Renaissance strapwork and frame ornament.
