Champfleury
Published in 1529, Champfleury was written by Geoffroy Tory. It is divided into three books, and is heavily about the proper use of the French language, from elegance to the alphabet to the proper use of grammar, and subtitled "The Art and Science of the Proportion of the Attic or Ancient Roman Letters, According to the Human Body and Face". The Champfleury was not as stylized as 'The Book of Hours', however it did give great insight into the mind of Tory; his pedantic attitude and his meticulous devotion to the French Language. Tory used a grid that was in a square shape, that eerily predicts the use of pixelation in modern day typefaces. Although "Champfleury" roughly translates to "flowery fields", it is also a French idiom for "paradise".
