A rare Toulouse printing from the presses of Dominique Bosc (15..-1619), featuring his woodcut shepherd's mark on the title.
Dominique Bosc was the first member of a dynasty of printers active in Toulouse from 1570 to the end of the 17th century. Along with Raymond Colomiez, his brand was one of the most notable of the 17th century. Both were originally engraved on copper by Léonard Gaultier (1561?-1635?).
