Pedacii Dioscoridis Anazarbei de medicinali materia libri quinque De virulentis animalibus, et venenis canerabioso, et corum notis, ac remediis libri quattuor. Joanne Ruellio Suessionensi interprete
A 1516 Paris edition of Dioscorides' Greek pharmacopoeia, rendered in Latin by Jean Ruel and printed by Henri Estienne for physicians and students of medicine. The pages are dense blocks of black type with chapter headings in large display capitals, and the decorative initial letters are the most striking ornament, offering designers models for historiated and ornamental drop caps.
