Illustrations from Pantagruel by Francois Rablais, Paris,

sont contenues plusiers figures de l’invention de maistre
Francois Rablais: & dernier oeuvre d’iceluy, pour
la recreation des bon esprits (“The humourous dreams
of Pantagruel, wherein are contained many figures from the
imagination of master Francois Rabelais: & his last work,
for the amusement of good spirits”). The exact meaning
of the images is unclear. |
