De lumbricis alvum occupantibus, ac de ratione curandi eos : qui ab illis infestantur commentarius
A 1547 Venetian medical treatise by Girolamo Gabuccini on intestinal worms, printed by Hieronymus Scotus in Venice for physicians and readers of medicine. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials, a tall letter I with a vase or urn motif and acanthus scrolls, and a Q filled with a leafy mask, which a designer could take as compact models for framed Renaissance capitals and ornamental borders.
