Le tresor des pouvres
Le tresor des pouvres is a 1527 medical treatise in French, attributed to Arnaldus de Villanova (died 1311) and printed in Lyons by C. Nourry for a general readership seeking cheap remedies. The first picture is a decorated historiated initial with a floral and foliate border above dense black-letter columns, while the second is a woodcut printer's device of a crowned heart above a crouching lion beside the Psalm 50 verse in Latin capitals, both useful for borders, framing and heraldic-style emblems.
