Concordie pharmacopolarum Barcinonensium [Pharmacopée de Barcelone]

1535 · Barcelona : Pedro de Monpezat · 6 pictures

Concordie pharmacopolarum Barcinonensium is a 1535 pharmacopoeia printed in Barcelona by Pedro de Monpezat, a reference of drug recipes and ingredient lists for apothecaries and physicians. Its pages are dense black-letter text set in two-column tables of ingredients, weights and doses, with ornate decorated initial letters and ruled dotted leaders linking names to quantities, a layout a designer could borrow for dense typographic lists, tabular price-style alignment, and historic letterpress ornament.
