Theatron : in quo maximorum Christiani orbis pontificum archiatros
A 1696 Latin biographical work printed in Rome by Francesco de Lazaris, by Prospero Mandosio, about the physicians of popes, meant for scholars and readers of medical history. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initials, historiated letters with foliage scrolls, vine tendrils and small figures set in square frames beside the text, which a designer could adapt for ornamental capitals and border framing.
