Abdiae Trew Astrologia medica quatuor disputationibus
A 1663 Latin medical astrology treatise by Abdias Trew, printed at Altdorf by Georg Hagen for the university, with two small decorative woodcut ornaments. The first is a symmetrical diamond-shaped scrollwork cartouche with curling volutes and a central rosette, and the second is a horizontal band of foliage and fruit framing a centred human head in a feathered headdress. A designer might take from them the compact symmetry of early modern printers' ornaments, useful for borders, dividers and vignettes in historical styles.
