Les aphorismes d'Hippocrate avec son serment, mis en françois par le Sr. de Mirabeau...
A 1643 French translation of Hippocrates' aphorisms and oath, rendered into French by the Sieur de Mirabeau and published in Paris by Simon Lefebure for a learned medical readership. The pages are dense letterpress text in a serif face with long justified lines, one historiated initial, and occasional broken words at line ends, offering a designer a model for early modern typographic color and page texture.
