Aretaei Cappadocis de acutorum ac diuturnorum morborum causis et signis lib. IIII, de acutorum ac diuturnorum morborum curatione lib. IIII
A 1554 Latin medical treatise by the Greek physician Aretaeus of Cappadocia, printed in Paris by Andreas Turnebus for physicians and students of medicine. Its two pictures are small woodcut devices: a bearded profile head in a roundel inscribed with the Faculty of Medicine of Paris and the Greek word for Hippocrates, entwined with a snake and leafy vine, and an ornamental initial letter X framed by scrolling foliage, grotesque serpent-headed scrolls and acanthus-like leaves, useful to a designer for compact border and capital-letter ornament.
