Memoires de l'histoire du Languedoc, curieusement et fidelement recueillis de diuers autheurs grecs, latins, françois & espagnols; & de plusieurs titres & chartes tirés des archifs des villes & communautez de la mesme prouince, et autres circonuoisines
A 1633 Toulouse history of the Languedoc region, compiled by Guillaume Catel from Greek, Latin, French and Spanish authors and from charters held in provincial town archives, printed by Pierre Bosc for a learned readership. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a grotesque mask over symmetrical scrolls and leaves, and large decorated initial C letters framed by foliage, strapwork and winged creatures, useful for designers seeking early modern border and initial-letter motifs.
