Explication de divers monumens singuliers, qui ont rapport a la religion des plus anciens peuples : avec l'examen de la derniere edition des ouvrages de S. Jerôme, & un traité sur l'astrologie judiciaire : ouvrage enrichi de figures en taille-douce
An antiquarian treatise by the Benedictine scholar Jacques Martin, printed in Paris in 1739, comparing druidic, classical and early Christian monuments for learned readers, with copperplate figures. The images here are letterpress typographic ornaments: symmetrical woodcut vignettes of flower baskets, urns, acanthus scrolls and a canopy hung with tassels, useful as headpieces, dividers and small heraldic-looking devices.
