Les fables égyptiennes et grecques : dévoilées & réduites au même principe, avec une explication des hiéroglyphes, et de la guerre de Troye
An alchemical reading of Egyptian and Greek myth by the Benedictine Dom Antoine-Joseph Pernety, printed in Paris by Delalain in 1786 for scholarly readers of hermetic and mythographic literature. The illustration is typographic: coarse woodcut headbands with sunburst rays and scrolled foliage, a flower-basket ornament in a garland cartouche, and a tailpiece of a draped child heating a covered vessel on a rocky outcrop \u2014 usable as rules, chapter openers and small spot vignettes.
