La petite chirurgie autrement ditte La Bertheonee, ...plus les traittez du mesme autheur,...par Daniel Du Vivier
A French medical treatise on minor surgery, attributed to Paracelsus and published in Paris in 1623 by Olivier de Varennes, edited by Daniel Du Vivier for surgeons and practitioners. Its pictures are historiated and decorative initials in woodcut, with dense foliage, scrolls and strapwork built into large capital letters beside the printed text, a useful model for ornamental capitals and border-free letterform framing.
