Disputationem inauguralem de suffusione vulgo vom Staar ...
A 1691 Latin dissertation printed at Jena by Johann Georg Hast, held by the Wellcome Library, on cataract (suffusio, the 'Staar'), written for university examination and academic readers. The single picture is a woodcut tailpiece of a wicker basket overflowing with stylised flowers, leaves and fruit, cut in dense black line on a cream printed page, showing how early modern printers filled spare space with decorative vignettes that suit a botanical or rustic motif.
