Magni Hippocratis medicorum omnium facile principis Opera omnia quae extant in VIII sectiones ex Erotiani mente distributa
A 1596 Frankfurt edition of Hippocrates' collected medical works, edited by Anutius Foës with Greek commentary, printed for the Wechel and Marne heirs and aimed at scholars of ancient medicine. The pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, mostly large capitals H, M and P filled with interlaced foliage, scrollwork and grotesque ornament, showing how Renaissance printers framed a text block and offering designers dense, carved-looking ornament for borders and display capitals.
