Joannis Baptistae Morgagni Foroliviensis ... Adversaria anatomica omnia : novis pluribus aereis tabulis, & universali accuratissimo indice ornata : opus nunc vere absolutum, inventis, & innumeris observationibus, ac monitis refertum, quibus universa humani corporis anatome, & subinde etiam quae ab hac pendent, res medica, & chirurgica admodum illustrantur ..
Morgagni's 1741 anatomical treatise, published at Leiden (Lugduni Batavorum) by Johannes Arnoldus Langerak for medical students and practitioners, collects his anatomical observations with added copper plates. The pictures are small woodcut headpieces, tailpieces and an ornamental initial, with scrolling acanthus, grotesque birds and foliage in dense black line that a designer could borrow for decorative borders, dividers and drop caps.
