Praxis medica cum theoria. [Tomus primus]
A 1660 Latin medical treatise by Lazare Rivière, printed at Lyon by J. A. Huguetan and Ravaud, aimed at physicians and students of practical medicine. Its pictures are a woodcut ornamental head with scrollwork and fruit swags, a matching woodcut cartouche, an engraved portrait of the author within an oval frame with a Latin motto, and a decorated initial letter beside dense roman type, offering a designer examples of early modern typographic ornament and framing devices.
