Thaddei Florentini,... In C. Gal. Micratechnen commentarii secunde editionis emaculati et ab oblivionis injuria nuperrime vindicati, studio Thome Dionysii Polii,... quin etiam Gal. textus suo loco adjecti...
A 1522 Naples edition of Taddeo Alderotto's commentary on Galen's Micratechne, edited by Tommaso Dionisio Polio and printed by A. Frizius for medical readers of the period. The pictures are not illustrations but close pages of dense black-letter Latin type, with a large decorated initial, woodcut-style capitals, and marginal marks. A designer might draw on the tightly packed typography, the contrast of a big drop cap against small text, and the rhythm of columns.
