Anatomice sive historia corporis humani. Ejusdem collectiones medicinales seu aforismi

Benedetti, Alessandro, approximately 1450-1512 · 1514 · Paris : H. Stephanus · 8 pictures

This Latin anatomy treatise by Alessandro Benedetti was printed in Paris in 1514 by H. Stephanus for medical readers and students. Its pages are dense black-letter text set in justified columns, opening each chapter with large decorated initials, one of which is a historiated letter, and a designer might borrow the rhythm of its type blocks and the ornamental capitals.
