Disputatio medica de salivae natura et usu ...
A Latin medical dissertation on saliva, written by Gottfried Heydenreich and printed at Wittenberg in 1677 by Matthaeus Henckelius for academic readers. Its one picture is a large decorative initial S, filled with scrolling foliage and leafy tendrils set beside running Latin text, a plain example of seventeenth-century printed ornament a designer could borrow for letterforms or border work.
