Beschrijving

Title page to the third volume of works by Bacquet, Jean (15..-1597) with large oval printer’s device of Abel Langelier (or L’Angelier) (1553?-1610) representing a shepherd kneeling in front of a fire and an angel coming from the sky. On the frame: ‘SACRUM PINGUE DABO NEC MACRUM SACRIFICABO’. It might hint to Abel, one of the sons of Adam and Eve, as the first name of the publisher is Abel. Allegorical figures populate the outer frame. Monogrammed in a shield beneath the representation.
