Commentariis in libellum Theophrasti de vertigine
A Latin medical commentary on Theophrastus's treatise on vertigo, written by the physician Guillaume de Baillou and edited by Jacques Thévart, printed in Paris in 1640 by Jacques Quesnel for a learned medical readership. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: flower-filled roundels framed by leaves, and a heraldic cartouche with fleur-de-lis flanked by mythical lion-like creatures, offering a designer compact baroque ornament and symmetrical border motifs.
