A 1545 surgical treatise in French by the Paris surgeon Ambroise Paré, published in Paris by V. Gaulterot, on gunshot wounds, arrow wounds and burns from gunpowder, written for practising surgeons. The pages mix large decorated initial letters showing figures and grotesque creatures with woodcut diagrams of bandaged limbs and surgical instruments, set in dense black-letter type with ornamented capitals a designer could borrow for display lettering.
