Hippocratis de Natura Humana Liber Hieronymi Ximenez ... commentariis illustratus
This is a 1589 Latin medical text printed in Zaragoza by the Robles press, Hieronymus Ximenez's commentary on Hippocrates' treatise On the Nature of Man. The three pictures are full-page scans of dense black-letter roman type with a centred running heading, TEXTVS II, and a faint show-through of the reverse page behind the lines. A designer might take from them the rhythm of close-set justified text, small-caps headings, and the ghosted overprint effect of bleed-through.
