Cl. Galeni Pergameni nobilissimi medici libri aliquot Græci partim hactenus non visi, partim a mendis ... repurgati et integritati sue restituti, annotationibusque illustrati per J. Caium
A 1544 Greek medical treatise by Galen, edited with annotations and printed at Basel by Froben for scholars and physicians. Its pages show Greek text set in dense roman type with Latin marginal notes, opening with large decorative woodcut initials containing figures and foliage, where a designer might borrow the framed capital letter structure and the dense, ordered typographic texture.
