De epilepsia, seu morbo comitiali, assertiones medicae

Planer, Andreas, 1546-1607 · 1592 · Tubingae : Per Alexandrum Hoggium · 3 pictures

A 1592 Latin medical treatise on epilepsy by physician Andreas Planer, printed at Tübingen by Alexander Hoggius for scholarly readers. Its pictures are small printers' ornaments: a decorated initial Q with interlace and foliage, a symmetrical scrollwork cartouche, and a central mask flanked by flowing drapery above the imprint line, all in crisp woodcut-like black line with hatched shading that a designer could borrow for cartouches, initials, and vintage title-page borders.
