A 1640 Polish verse-and-prose medical treatise on maintaining health, printed in Kraków by Walerian Piątkowski and attributed to Hieronim Olszowski, drawing on the Salerno school's teachings. The pictures are printer's ornaments and heraldic devices: a foliate mask with scrolling strapwork, an oval cartouche with crossed arrows inside a laurel-and-lettered frame, and a coat of arms with a plumed helm, acanthus mantling and a tower-like charge, offering a designer period cartouche and armorial motifs.
