L'histoire ecclesiastiqve
A 1553 Paris printing of Eusebius's church history in French, translated by Claude de Seyssel and issued by A. l'Angelier for a learned Christian readership. The pictures are repeated woodcut decorative initial letters, each an E framed by a rectangle and filled with interlaced scrollwork, acanthus-like leaves and curling foliage, which a designer could use as a model for ornamental capitals and border framing.
