De balneorum utilitate cum ad sanitatem tuendam, tum ad morbos curandos, dialogus ex Hippocrate, Galeno, caeterisque ; medicorum peritissimus decerptus et nunc primum aeditus
A Latin medical dialogue on the benefits of baths, written by Giovanni Francesco Brancaleoni and printed in Paris by Christian Wechel in 1536 for physicians and readers of medicine. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments, a winged chimera-like beast standing above a symmetrical urn-and-scroll motif with clouds below, which a designer could take as a compact model for heraldic-style emblems and symmetrical vignette layouts.
