Recueil de plusieurs secretz tres utiles, tant pour l’ornement que la santé corps humain, tirez des plus excellens auteurs, tant grecz que latins. Auquel avons adiousté un traicté des destillations... Nouvellement traduict d'Italien en François par S. E. S .X.
A 1561 Paris collection of medical and cosmetic recipes, translated from Italian into French and published by Vincent Sertenas, drawn from classical Greek and Latin authors and including a treatise on distillation. The two pictures are a small oval stamp of a medical faculty seal with a profile head and a woodcut printer's device of two winged putti flanking a central emblem with a Latin motto. The woodcut's symmetrical scrollwork, paired figures and tablet lettering offer a designer ideas for framed emblematic borders and classical ornament.
