Claudii Galeni De antidotis libri duo, a Ioanne Guinterio... Latinitate donati. Eiusdem Galeni De remedijs paratu facilibus liber unus, eodem Ioanne Guinterio interprete

Galien, Johann Guenther, von Andernach (éd.) · 1535 · Parisiis : Apud Simonem Colinaeum · 1 picture

A 1535 Paris edition of Galen's medical treatises on antidotes and remedies, issued by the printer Simon de Colines in a Latin translation by Johann Guinter von Andernach for scholars and physicians. The single picture is a woodcut tailpiece or emblem of a winged, long-haired figure gripping a staff or pole, with a scroll of Latin words twisting around him and standing on a stone plinth. A designer might take from it the dense black-line woodcut style of Renaissance printing, the figure with flowing wings and hair, and the scroll lettering used as a decorative frame.
