Le nouveau medecin charitable divisé en trois parties. Enseignant par ordre alphabétique les noms, qualitez, facultez...nouvelle edition, reveuë & corrigée par l'Auteur
A French medical handbook by Charles de Saint-Germain, printed in Paris in 1671 by Michel Bobin and Nicolas Le Gras for lay readers seeking home remedies, arranged alphabetically by drug names and qualities. Its three woodcut ornaments, a heraldic device with lion-like beasts, an ornate decorated initial, and a grotesque mask with scrolls and tassels, show dense, crisp black-on-paper printer's ornament that a designer could borrow for historical borders, monograms, and emblem-style panels.
