Claudii Gaieni Pergameni De simplicium medicamentorum facultatibus libri vndecim. Theodorico Gerardo Gaudano interprete. Qui emendatiores exeunt, locis compluribus restitutis ex vetustissimorum exemplarium collatione
A 1545 Latin medical treatise by the Greek physician Galen on simple drugs, translated by Theodoricus Gerardus and printed in Paris by Simon de Colines for a learned readership of physicians and pharmacists. Its pictures are small woodcuts: an ornate decorated initial Q set in foliate scrollwork, and a winged figure with a club and a looping banner of lettering, showing how a designer can frame text with strapwork and banners.
