Question cardinale...La Methode d'Hippocrate est-elle la plus certaine, la plus seure, & la plus excellente de toutes, à guarir les maladies ? avec des observations sur quelques points les plus notables
A medical treatise in French, printed in Paris in 1648 by Nicolas Boisset and written by Charles Guillemeau, weighing Hippocratic against Galenic methods of curing disease for physicians and learned readers. The three pictures are historiated initial letters C and L, each a woodcut of a decorative capital framed by leafy vines, flowers and a basket of fruit, with the letter body left open for a designer to borrow as an ornamental monogram.
