Dissertatio medica de venenis & bezoardicis

Ursin, Johann Christian, 1659- · 1682 · Jenae : Literis Krebsianis · 1 picture

A 1682 Latin medical dissertation on poisons and bezoar stones, printed at Jena by the Krebs press and written by Johann Christian Ursin for a scholarly medical readership. The single picture is a close crop of a text page with a large decorative initial U beside roman-type Latin lines, showing the sturdy serif capitals and dense, even justified setting of early modern printing that a designer could borrow for display type or a historical letterpress look.
