De balneis Sancti Cassiani tractatus tres in partes distribuitus

Mannius, Victorius, active 1613 · 1617 · Senis : Apud Sylvestrum Marchettum · 3 pictures

A Latin treatise on the baths of Saint Cassian, written by Victorius Mannius of Siena, a physician and philosopher, and printed at Siena in 1617 by Silvestro Marchetti, addressed to Christina of Lorraine as a medical text. The three pictures are a row of black ornamental fleurons and a woodcut scroll-and-mask tailpiece, with the title page showing a centred coat of arms beneath a dense block of classical capitals, useful for designers seeking historic printers' ornament and lettering layouts.
