Dissertatio inauguralis medico chirurgica de grangraena et sphacelo
A Latin medical dissertation by Johann Joachim Kast, printed in Strasbourg in 1688 by Johann Friedrich Spoor for academic examination. Its pictures are letterpiece and ornament blocks: a large decorative initial Q with interlace and foliage beside dense roman text, and a woodcut frieze of pomegranates, acanthus scrolls and a central flower, useful to designers seeking seventeenth-century printer's ornament and historic type-and-border layouts.
