La pathologie ou discours des maladies
Jean Fernel's La pathologie, a French medical treatise printed in Paris in 1655 by J. Guignard for physicians and students of the period. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initials, some with flowering tulip-like foliage framing a large capital, and a chapter-list ornamental letter, which a designer might draw on for historical border and capital-letter motifs.
