Despite Denys Moreau’s attempts under Louis XIII , and with the exception of *Grandjean ’s efforts at the end of the century, the triumph and ubiquity of Garamond type did not stimulate typographical innovation. Nor is the period particularly notable for its illustrated books, though significant exceptions include Jean Chapelain ’s Pucelle with engravings by Abraham Bosse after Claude Vignon ( 1656 ) and, in the later...

...as a whole. It is possible that further reflection on this episode may help to determine the original meaning of the list. For whom are such lists of significance? ‘Counting’ is administrative, suggesting responsibility to higher officials—occupied peoples are familiar with the ubiquity of forms, numbers, rolls, registrations, etc. The terms used to describe these people in addition to those related to priestly families, are all place-names.
