Traicté des maladies des reins, et de la vessie contenant la cure de la pierre & gravelle
A 1631 French medical treatise on kidney, bladder, stone and gravel disease, written by L. Ollivier and printed at Rouen by Pierre Maille for surgeons and physicians practising lithotomy. Its pictures are a large decorated initial M beside a dedication opening in italic type, and a woodcut ornament of two birds flanking a central figure above a bowl, both with dense hatched line work a designer could borrow for historical initials and emblem-style borders.
