Fortunii Liceti Genuensis ... De anima subiecto corpori nil tribuente, deque seminis vita, & efficientia primaria in formatione faetus ...

Liceti, Fortunio · 1631 · typis Variscianis · 3 pictures

A 1631 Latin treatise by the Genoese philosopher and physician Fortunio Liceti, printed by the Variscian press and held in the C.G. Jung library, arguing about the soul, the body and the generation of the embryo for a learned scholarly readership. Its three pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a lion inside a scrolled roundel, a foliate initial V with stylised leaves and tendrils, and a cartouche framing two figures under the motto FORTASSE LICEBIT, useful for designers seeking early modern printer's decoration.
