Les Vies des hommes illustres, grecs et romains, comparées l'une avec l'autre
Les Vies des hommes illustres is a 1567 Paris edition of Plutarch's Parallel Lives, translated into French by Jacques Amyot and printed by Vascosan for a general reading public. The pictures here are printed decorative initials and a strapwork border, with foliage scrolls, putti and cartouche-like ovals in woodcut style.
