Curieuses recherches sur les escholes en médecine de Paris et de Montpellier, nécessaires d'estres sceuës pour la consevation de la vie, par un ancien docteur en médecine de la faculté de Paris
A 1651 French medical treatise by Jean Riolan, printed in Paris by G. Meturas, addressed to general readers on the medical schools of Paris and Montpellier. Its pictures are small black-and-white woodcut ornaments: a leafy foliated initial letter, a decorated capital opening the text, and a tree with curling scrolls bearing a Latin motto, which a designer could borrow for botanical framing, vine-scroll borders, or early modern dropped capitals.
