Reflexions sur les différends de la religion : avec les preuves de la tradition ecclésiastique par diverses traductions des saints pères, sur chaque pointe contesté
A 1686 French Catholic controversial treatise by Paul Pellison-Fontanier, published in Paris by G. Martin, arguing points of religious dispute with patristic evidence. Its four ornaments are woodcut headpieces and tailpieces of flower baskets, a fruit-filled cornucopia with a face, and a winged cherub head with a handwritten annotation in the margin. The baskets use dense hatching and lattice weaving that a designer could adapt for botanical or vintage decorative borders.
