Joannis Schenckii a Grafenberg ... Observationum medicarum rariorum libri VII : in quibus nova, abdita, admirabilia, monstrosaque exempla, circa anatomen, aegritudinum causas, signa, eventus, curationes, à veteribus recentioribusque sive medicis, sive aliis quibusque fide digniss. scriptoribus monumentis consignata, partim hactenus publicatis, partim etiam anekdotois non paucis, per communes locos artificiose digesta proponuntur
A 1665 Latin medical casebook by the Frankfurt physician Johannes Schenck von Grafenberg (1530-1598), printed at Frankfurt by Hieronymus Polichius for the bookseller Johannes Beyer, collecting rare case observations for physicians. Its pictures are the printer's ornaments: a heraldic cartouche, a strapwork frieze, a grotesque panel with masks and scrolls, and a dark floral triangle, showing how early modern decorative borders were built from symmetry and interlaced scrollwork.
