Alanfranc en cyrurgie
A 1508 Paris surgical treatise by Lanfranc of Milan, printed by Pierre Le Dru and written in French for practising surgeons and students. The single picture is a woodcut bookplate of Ch. Durand, Greffier, showing a shield with a monogram framed by foliage, a ram, a lamb, and a banderole inscription, with a library stamp in the margin that is not part of the design. A designer might take its symmetrical heraldic framing, dense leaf scrollwork, and lettered cartouche as a model for a crest or label.
