Commentaires de la Faculté de médecine de Paris. Années 1532-1544
This is a 1532 manuscript register of the Paris Faculty of Medicine's commentaries for 1532-1544, written in French and Latin by the faculty's scribes for internal record-keeping. The pages are handwritten ledgers of dense Gothic-style script, with columns of signatures and marginal annotations rather than illustrations. A designer might take from them the texture of aged iron-gall ink on cream paper, with sweeping ascenders, looping flourishes, and irregular scribbled signatures that read as organic graphic marks.
