Methode pour bien seigner, utile à tous chirurgiens, ou est amplement traicté l'artifice de bien pratiquer la seignee...oar Jean Bonnart...dédié à monsieur Hennequin
A 1628 French surgical manual by Jean Bonnart, printed in Paris by Hierosme de la Fonteine and dedicated to Monsieur Hennequin, teaching surgeons how to perform bloodletting (seignee) through plain printed text. The pages show black-letter type with a decorated initial letter, a small marginal note column, and a dedicatory opening addressed to 'Monsieur', so a designer might take the ornamental woodcut initials and dense justified text blocks as period typography references.
