Dissertatio medica de singularibus ...
A 1663 Latin medical dissertation by Gottfried Welsch, published in Leipzig and aimed at physicians and medical students, on single remedies in materia medica. The picture is a page opening with a large inhabited initial S and a centred capitalised heading, set in dense roman type with italic terms; a designer could take its strong capital-and-initial hierarchy and tightly justified text block as a model for classical title pages.
