The Breviary of Helthe, for all maner of syckenesses and diseases the whiche may be in man, or woman doth folowe
A 1547 London medical treatise by Andrew Boorde, printed by W. Middleton for general readers, arranged as alphabetical entries on diseases and their names in Greek and English. The pictures are black-letter text blocks with historiated initial letters: a small framed figure of a seated man beside the text, a large decorated capital B with foliage and a bearded face, and a plain X-shaped initial beside the entry heading, showing how a designer might pair ornate woodcut capitals with dense columns of type.
