Dissertatio medica exhibens aegrum laborantem peste
A 1681 Latin dissertation printed in Jena by the widow of Samuel Krebs, written by Daniel Heinrich Ulrich and dedicated to Georg Wolfgang Wedel, a medical text on plague. The single page shows dense black-letter-style roman type with a large decorated initial N, a centred dedication heading, and justified text set in a tight column, giving a designer a classic early modern printed text block with a historic ornamental capital to borrow for typography.
