Nouveau Testament : c'est a dire, la Nouvelle Alliance de nostre Seigneur Iesus Christ
A French-language New Testament printed in La Rochelle in 1591 by Hierosme Haultin, with Sternhold and Hopkins psalm material listed among its subjects, aimed at Protestant readers. The pages show an ornamented printed text with decorative woodcut initials, a historiated headpiece of interlaced foliage and figures, and a small emblem of a head within laurel branches above a scrolled cartouche, all of which suggest decorative devices a designer could reuse for borders, drop caps and vignettes.
