Methodvs ad facilem historiarum cognitionem; accvrate denuo recusus. Subiecto rerum indice
A Latin treatise on how to study history, written by Jean Bodin, the sixteenth-century French jurist and political theorist, printed in Lyon in 1583 by I. Mareschallus for scholars and students. Its single picture is a small woodcut ornament in a scrolled oval frame showing two figures flanking a central scene with a pedestal or altar, bold black carving with a strong figure-ground contrast that suggests a compact emblem for a title page or printer's device.
