De lapide philosophico tractatus eximius, a Germanico quodam philosopho A. C. M CCCCXXIII subsequente titulo factus et conscriptus ...
A 1677 alchemical treatise, De lapide philosophico, printed by Hermann a Sande and drawn from a fifteenth-century German philosopher's text, held in the C.G. Jung library. The single picture is a large decorative initial Q, its letter body filled with interlaced scrollwork and foliage inside a border of curling vines and small leaves, suited to a designer seeking historic letterforms and woodcut-style ornament for display lettering.
