Cl. Galeni Pergameni Ars medica, quae et Ars parva dicitur
Galen's Ars medica, also called Ars parva, is a 1548 Latin medical treatise printed in Lyon by Guillaume Rouillé, edited from Greek by Martin Akakia, and aimed at physicians and students of ancient medicine. Its pictures are small printed woodcut initials and ornaments, including a foliate C, a T framed in dark leafy scrollwork, a grotesque bird with a serpent entwined in a plant, and a diagram of diagonal lines with numerals, offering a designer compact decorative letterforms and emblematic borders.
