Caspari Hofmanni ... Institutionum medicarum libri sex cum duplici indice copiosissimo
A 1645 Latin medical textbook by Caspar Hofmann, edited by Charles Spon, printed in Lyon by the Huguetan press for physicians and medical students. Its pictures are printer's ornaments: a repeated band of fleur-de-lis flanked by scrolling foliage, grotesque animals and putti, and a decorative initial panel with a sigma set in strapwork and masks, useful to designers seeking dense woodcut borders and Renaissance ornament.
