Clary, François de, 1550-1627 · 1611 · A Tours, : [I. Mettayer?] · 8 pictures

A 1611 French polemical pamphlet by François de Clary, printed at Tours, aimed at readers opposing papal bulls and Spanish-backed Catholic factions, as the title and Gallicanism subject suggest. The four pictures are decorative woodcut initials and ornamental printer's blocks: a large letter I wrapped in curling foliage, a letter N set within a grid of scrolls and trefoils, a circular medallion with a diamond-shaped motif, and a letter L framed by stylised leaves, offering a designer strong models for dense, hand-cut ornamental initials.
