Matthiae Untzeri ... anatomia mercurii Spagirica seu de hydrargyri natura, proprietate, viribus atque usu, libri duo
A 1620 Latin pharmaceutical treatise by physician Matthias Untzer, printed at Frankfurt for Michael Oelschlegel, on the chemistry and medicinal use of mercury for physicians and apothecaries. Its pages are dense blocks of close-set roman type with centred chapter headings, small italic marginal annotations and a few large decorative initial letters, giving a plain, scholarly texture a designer could borrow for dense text layouts and historical typography.
