Winter, Matthias Heinrich, active 1680 · 1680 · Altdorffii : Literis Henrici Meyeri · 1 picture

A Latin inaugural medical dissertation on fonticulas, written by Matthias Heinrich Winter and printed at Altdorf in 1680 by Henricus Meyer's press, intended for the medical graduates of the period. The one picture is a close view of a large decorative initial letter I with ornate scrolling foliage and interlace, set beside a few lines of italic and roman type that suggest how a designer might pair a dense historic initial with text.
