De vrinis et pulsibus, de missione sanguinis, de febribus, de morbis capitis, et pectoris
A 1683 Latin medical treatise by Lorenzo Bellini, printed in Bologna, covering urine, pulse, bloodletting, fevers and diseases of the head and chest. The pictures are small woodcut initial letters, each framed by flowers, leaves and a few insects, with bold black outlines on a cream ground that a designer could adapt for decorative capitals or botanical border motifs.
