Les Aphorismes, trad. par J. Vigier,...
A 1666 Paris edition of Hippocrates' Aphorisms, translated into French by J. Vigier and printed by J. d'Houry for medical readers. The pictures are plain letterpress pages: a large decorative initial capital opening a Latin passage, then French text with italic emphasis, running lines and section numbers, useful to a designer for seventeenth-century type color, justified columns and dense text setting.
