Francisci Vallesii... in Aphorismos Hippocratis Commentarii VII... nunc iterum Ioan. Petri Ayroldi Marcelliani opera & industria fidelius elegantiusque editi...
A 1589 Cologne edition of Francisco Valles's commentaries on Hippocrates' Aphorisms, printed in Latin for physicians and medical students. The pages are dense running text in roman type with numbered aphorism headings, marginal annotations, and occasional small Greek passages. A designer might take from them the rhythm of dense early modern typography, with its tight justified columns, centred headings and generous margins, as a model for classical scholarly layout.
