Traité de la verité de la religion chrêtienne ..
A 1688 treatise on the truth of the Christian religion by the Reformed minister Jacques Abbadie, printed at The Hague by J. Neaulme for a learned Protestant readership. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments, with a symmetrical flourish of scrolling acanthus and foliage around a shield, a heart-shaped motif with a shell-like base, and a monogram of crossed letters under a flower crown, all useful for designers seeking early modern decorative devices.
