De medica historia mirabili libri sex
This is a Latin medical treatise by Marcello Donati, printed in Venice in 1597 by the heirs of Lucantonio Giunta for physicians and students of clinical medicine. The pictures are small woodcut decorated initial letters, each a large capital framed by leafy scrolls, hatched shading and foliage, a pattern a designer could adapt for historical initials, borders, and monograms.
