Le livre du grand et divin Hippocrate. Des plaies de teste. Thresor de chirurgie. trad. par François Dissaudeau,
A French translation of Hippocrates' treatise on head wounds, prepared by François Dissaudeau and printed at Saumur in 1612 by Thomas Portau for a medical readership. The picture is a close-up of a printed page of dense black letterforms in italic and roman type, with its anatomical text describing the coronal, lambdoid and sagittal skull sutures and a page signature at the foot, so a designer might take its tightly set, slightly irregular early-seventeenth-century type color and texture.
