Singuliers secrets et secours contre la peste, souventesfois experimentez et approuvez, tant en certaine preservation que parfaicte guarison, Par M. Antoine Mizauld Medecin à Paris

Mizauld, Antoine · 1562 · Paris, M. Breuille · 3 pictures

A 1562 plague-remedy handbook in French by Paris physician Antoine Mizauld, printed in Paris by Mathurin Breuille for a general readership seeking protection and cures from pestilence. Its pages are dense black-letter text with a title page framed by a decorative woodcut emblem of a rose, a scroll, and a bracketed panel of lettering, and the title page carries a ruler and a library stamp that are scan marks rather than book content. A designer might take the compact, heavily justified type blocks, the curled brace ornament, and the emblematic rose woodcut as models for early modern typography and border design.
