Perioche des sept premiers livres de la Methode therapeuticque de Galien : Traduicte par Maistre Guillaume Cristian, Medecin, Docteur, lisant à Orleans. Agathos Listis.
A 1540 French medical treatise printed in Paris by Janot, translating the first seven books of Galen's therapeutic method, rendered by the physician Guillaume Christian for readers of medicine. The pictures are mostly close-up pages of black-letter and roman type, with a historiated initial letter, a woodcut floral ornament and a small oval library stamp; a designer might take from them the drama of dense, justified text blocks set against a single decorative capital and a sprig-like emblem.
