Excellent traicte de la peste, monstrant les causes, signes d'icelle et les remedes les plus exquis tant pour la preservation que pour la cure des malades, le tout bien approuvé, et en divers lieux heureusement experimenté, Par Antoine Royet, natif de Lyon
A 1583 French medical treatise on plague by Antoine Royet, a Lyon-born writer, printed for Jean Durant and aimed at physicians and readers seeking preservation and cure methods. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a winged-looking cherub head flanked by foliage, ribbons and pendants, repeated as a printer's device, plus a chapter-opening page with a decorated initial and display capitals that a designer could borrow for symmetrical headers, borders or vintage ephemera.
