Disputatio inauguralis de febri tertiana ...
A 1648 Latin inaugural medical dissertation on tertian fever, written by Daniel Espich and printed at Strasbourg by Johann Philipp Mülbius, a university printer, for academic readers. The single picture is a printer's ornament: a symmetrical hatched fleuron with scrolling acanthus-like leaves, a central vertical stem and a dotted, cross-hatched shading that suggests a woodcut or letterpress tailpiece a designer could borrow for decorative dividers.
