CAELIUS AURELIANUS, ORIBASE · 1529 · Bâle : Henri Petrus · 4 pictures

A 1529 Latin medical compendium printed in Basel by Henri Petrus, gathering works by Caelius Aurelianus and Oribasius for physicians and students of medicine. Its pictures are mostly dense black-letter text blocks and decorative headers, with one historiated initial showing figures wrestling and working around a large letter P, and a border of scrolling foliage and winged creatures; a designer could draw on the compact typographic hierarchy and the ornate woodcut initials and frames.
