De Combustionibus quae oleo et aqua fervida, ferro candente, pulvere tormentario, fulmine ...
This is a 1607 Latin surgical treatise by the German surgeon Wilhelm Fabricius Hildanus, printed at Basel, on burns and their treatment. Its pictures are woodcut diagrams of splints and limb fixation devices, a decorative bracket-style ornament with a lion's head, and a sketch of a hand with a ring. A designer might take the precise line-drawn apparatus diagrams and the dense baroque ornamental header.
