Observationes medicae de peste Brunsvicensi anni MDCLVII
A 1663 Latin medical treatise on the Brunswick plague of 1657, written by Lorenz Giesler and published in Brunswick by Christoph-Friedrich Zilliger for physicians and scholars. Its one picture is a page of Latin text opening with a large decorated initial S and a band of ornamental foliage across the top, so a designer could take inspiration from the historic typography, capital letter ornament and dense justified type block.
