Sommaire de l'histoire des François : recueilly des plus certains aucteurs de l'ancienneé́ [...]
Description
The title page displays the printer’s device of Sébastian Nivelle (1523-1603). Nivelle was active in Paris from the mid-1500s to 1603, and was at least approaching 80 years of age at the time of his passing, making him the literal “old man” in the Parisian printing trade of his day. Nivelle’s mark is yet another instance of a printer using his device to drive home his shop’s location. As the imprint indicates, Nivelle is on Rue S. Jacques, aux Cycognes (i.e. cigognes, “storks” in English). It’s no surprise, then, that two storks are the prominent creatures in the centre of Nivelle’s device.
