Galeni De affectorum locorum notitia libri sex
A 1513 Paris printing of Galen's medical treatise on diagnosing diseases, issued by the Henri Estienne press for scholars and physicians. Its pages are dense black-letter text in Latin with large decorated initial letters built from foliage and interlace, and one page has a tabular index of terms and numbers. A designer might borrow the framed woodcut initials, the tight justified columns, and the contrast between heavy ornament and crowded small type.
