Knogler, János Kristóf, active 1653 · 1653 · Argentorati : Ex typographeo Friderici Spoor · 2 pictures

A 1653 Latin anatomy treatise printed at Strasbourg (Argentorati) by the Spoor press, written by János Kristóf Knogler and held by the Wellcome Library, addressed to medical students and physicians. The first picture is a dedicatory title page with a centred heading, a large decorated initial D, and a boxed lettered ornament at the top, while the second shows a decorated woodcut initial T opening a dense text column with cramped roman type and smaller italic lines. A designer could take the ornamented capital letters, the centred dedication layout, and the tight justified text blocks as period typographic models.
