Remarques nouvelles sur la langue françoise
A 1682 French-language grammar and commentary by the Jesuit Dominique Bouhours, printed in Paris by Sebastien Mabre-Cramoisy for scholars and readers of French. Its pictures are small letterpress ornaments: strips of scrolling foliage with a central face or figure, a flower-filled urn, and a round emblem of a two-headed serpent over a hilltop town, useful to a designer for seventeenth-century border, vignette and emblem motifs.
