Trois discours philosophiques. De la comparaison de l'homme avec le monde. Du principe de la génération de l'homme. De l'humeur mélancolique
Three Philosophical Discourses by Jourdain Guibelet, a French physician-philosopher, printed at Évreux in 1603 by Antoine Le Marié for a readership of learned physicians and educated laymen interested in melancholy. The pictures are plain letterpress pages: an ornamented historiated initial, italic chapter headings, and a title page with an allegorical frontispiece of figures in pilasters and a God above clouds, giving a designer examples of early seventeenth-century French typographic hierarchy and emblematic title-page layout.
