De medicina methodica libri tredicim
A 1611 Latin medical treatise by Prospero Alpino, printed at Padua by Franciscus Bolzetta, aimed at physicians and students of medicine. Its pages show dense black-letter-free roman text opening with large decorative initials built from foliate scrollwork, and one headpiece with a small woodcut of two figures at work beside a bench, which a designer could draw on for ornamental capitals, tight justified text blocks, and early modern woodcut vignettes.
