Discours de l’yvresse et yvrongnerie, auquel les causes, nature & effects de l'yvresse sont amplement deduictz...
A French medical treatise on drunkenness and its causes, effects and nature, written by Jean Mousin and printed at Toul by Sebastien Philippe in 1612 for a learned readership of physicians and scholars. The pictures are plain letterpress: a woodcut initial L framed by ornamental flourishes, a dense chapter table of contents with running French text, and a Latin title block in heavy capitals, suggesting a designer could draw on early printed ornament, decorative initials and classical title-page typography.
