Francisci Vallessii Covarrubiani ... De vrinis, pulsibus, ac febribus compendiariae tractationes ..
A Latin medical treatise on urine, pulse and fever by the Spanish physician Francisco Valles, printed in Turin in 1588 by the heirs of Nicolas Bevilacqua for physicians and students. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, a P, a second P, an S and a V, framed in dense scrollwork and foliage, useful to a designer wanting ornamental capitals with a sixteenth-century printed character.
