An article on the tapestries hung in the salle d'honneur at the 1608 funeral ceremonies (Pompe Funèbre) of Charles III, Duke of Lorraine, as shown in Friedrich Brentel's engravings of about 1610. The author compares the Moses tapestries in the engravings with nine Moses tapestries from the Dukes of Lorraine now in Vienna, and cites Pierre Marot's explanation of the differences. She identifies Bernard Salomon's woodcuts in the Quadrins Historiques de la Bible (Lyons, 1553/1558) as the pattern source for Brentel's tapestry scenes. Illustrated with plates of the engravings, a Vienna tapestry, the Discours title page, and a Salomon woodcut.
