[Breviarium practicae. Français (?) :] Le trésor des pauvres

ARNOLDUS de VILLANOVA · 1503 · [?] pour Antoine Vérard · 1 picture

Le trésor des pauvres is a medical and practical compendium attributed to Arnaldus de Villanova, printed around 1503 in France, probably by or for Antoine Vérard, and aimed at a general lay readership of remedies and health advice. Its single woodcut shows a crowned Virgin enthroned in a rayed mandorla with saints flanking her, while a kneeling supplicant with a companion and a city behind occupies the lower register beneath a hand-lettered line; a designer might draw on its dense black-line carving, framed panel layout, and medieval devotional composition.
