Galeni Pergameni summi semper viri quique primus artem medicinae universam ... Opera omnia, ad fidem complurium & perquam vetustorum exemplariorum ita emendata atque restituta, ut nunc primum nata, atque in lucem aedita, uideri possint / vol. 2
A 1538 Latin edition of the collected medical works of Galen, printed at Basel by Cratander for scholars and physicians. The single picture is a woodcut ornamental device: a tree with a shield-like cartouche frame, scroll and rosette borders, and the inscription PALMA BEB. A designer might take its symmetrical strapwork cartouche and foliage-filled tree as a model for heraldic or emblem-style framing.
