Philosophia vetus et nova : ad usum scholae accommodata, in Regia Burgundia olim pertractata
Jean-Baptiste Du Hamel's Latin philosophy and natural-science course, printed by Étienne Michallet in Paris in 1684 for students of the Collège de Bourgogne. Woodcut headpieces mix acanthus scrolls, grotesque masks, seated allegorical figures and flower baskets with plain geometric diagrams of levers and weights, offering reusable ornamental bands, printer's blocks and simple lettered mechanics figures.
