Lettre à un docteur et professeur en médecine touchant la connoissance du chyle et de ses vaisseaux qui le portent au coeur...
A 1656 French medical letter by the physician Pierre Guiffart, printed at Rouen by François Vaultier and addressed to a doctor and professor of medicine on the chyle and its vessels. The pictures are small letterpress printer's ornaments: a decorative woodcut initial C with foliage and a face, a symmetrical head-and-scroll tailpiece with grapes and winged figures, and a Paris faculty stamp and a basket-of-fruit vignette on the title page, offering designers models of baroque woodcut ornament.
