Hieronymi Mercurialis Variarum lectionum, in medicinae scriptoribus et aliis, libri quinque priores
A Latin scholarly work on medicine by Girolamo Mercuriale, printed in Paris in 1585 by Nicolas Nivelle for physicians and classical scholars. Its pictures are small printers' ornaments: a decorated initial K, an initial Q framed by foliage, a strip of grotesque figures and scrolls, and an oval cartouche of acanthus leaves, useful to a designer seeking Renaissance letterform and border motifs.
