Disputatio inauguralis medica De febre tertiana simplici
A 1679 Latin medical dissertation on tertian fever, printed at Heidelberg by Samuel Ammon and presented by Friedrich Christian Winckler as praeses for a university disputation. The picture is a decorated initial S with interlaced scrollwork and foliage beside a column of dense black-letter-style text, and it suggests how a historic printed page can use a carved capital as a strong anchor for a text block.
