Epitomes omnium Galeni Pergameni operum, vniuersam illius viri doctrinam, & methodu[m], quàm accuratissimè contine[n]tis, sectio prima-[quarta]
A 1548 Venetian edition of Galen's medical works, epitomised by Andrés de Laguna and printed by Hieronymus Scotus for physicians and students of Greco-Roman medicine. The pictures are small woodcut historiated initials and framed vignettes, one showing a figure on horseback in a Q and another a dragon-like serpent wreathed in flames, which suggest bold, compact emblem-style compositions for a designer working with dense black line and decorative capitals.
