Matthiae Untzeri ... de sulphure tractatus
A 1620 Latin medico-chemical treatise on sulphur by Matthias Untzer, a Halle physician and chemist, printed at Halle and sold by Michael Oelschlegel in Schleswig-era Germany for scholars and physicians. Its pages are dense black-letter-style roman text in justified columns with small running heads, section headings in capitals, and a single decorative ornament at the close of the preface, offering a designer a model of early modern scholarly typesetting and ornamental tailpieces.
