Les elemens de chymie, de maistre Jean Beguin. Reveus, expliquez, & augmentez, par Jean Lucas de Roy, medecin boleducois. Quatriesme edition.
A French chemistry manual by Jean Béguin, revised and expanded by physician Jean Lucas de Roy, printed at Rouen in 1637 for students and practitioners of the chemical arts. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, each a large capital set in a frame of foliage, scrolls and leaves, with small ornamental ornaments; a designer might take inspiration from their carved, interlaced botanical borders and sturdy letterforms.
