Sylloge physico-medicinalium casuum incantationi vulgo adscribi solitorum ... decurias VI complectens ... Cui loco mantissae accesserunt I. Quaestio solemnis: An monstrosa varia illa excreta revera in corpore fuerint, vel extrahantur? An vero praestigiae doemonis sint
A Latin medical treatise of 1698 by Georg Abraham Mercklin, published in Nuremberg, written for physicians and scholars and examining cases once blamed on sorcery. Its pictures are small woodcut headpieces and ornaments, built as symmetrical vignettes of scrolling acanthus-like foliage, grapes, and fruit, with a shield or cartouche at the centre, which a designer could borrow for borders, dividers, or ornamental panels.
