Deux livres des venins, ausquels il est amplement discouru des bestes venimeuses, theriaques, poisons et contrepoisons, par Jaques Grevin de Clermont en Beauvaisis, Medecin à Paris. Ensemble, les œuvres de Nicandre, Medecin et Poëte Grec, traduictes en vers François
A 1568 French treatise on venomous animals, poisons and antidotes by the Paris physician Jacques Grévin, printed in Antwerp by Christophe Plantin and including Nicander's Greek poem in French verse. The woodcuts show creatures and terrain in a plain, densely hatched engraving style, and a designer could draw on their dense cross-hatching for natural-history textures and dark line work.
