Furni novi philosophici is a 1651 Latin treatise on distillation and chemical medicines by the German chemist Johann Rudolf Glauber, printed in Amsterdam by Joannes Janssonius for learned chemists and physicians. Its pictures are small woodcut decorative initials and ornamental headpieces with dense hatched lines, scrollwork and foliage, a repertoire a designer could borrow for letterforms, borders and vintage ornament.
