Opera interpretatione et notis illustravit Julianus Floridus ... jussu christianissimi regis, in usum serenissimi Delphini
A 1688 Latin edition of Apuleius, edited and annotated by Julien Fleury and published in Paris by Frédéric Léonard, prepared at the king's command for the Dauphin's instruction. The pictures are small printed headpieces and tailpieces: a scrolled cartouche, a fruit-and-urn ornament with garlands, and a crowned heraldic shield with laurel branches. A designer could draw on their symmetrical scrolls, swags and emblem frames for borders, dividers and classical-style ornament.
