Claudio Galeni Pergameni de simplicium medicamentorum facultatibus libri undecim, Theodorico Gerardo Gaudano interprete
A 1530 Paris printing of Galen's pharmacological treatise On the Faculties of Simples, edited and translated from Greek by Theodoricus Gerardus and published by Simon de Colines for physicians and medical students. The pictures are dense pages of small roman type in two columns, with the printed text heavily annotated by a reader in handwritten marginal notes and interlinear corrections in brown ink, plus a few decorated initial letters and chapter headings that a designer might borrow for manuscript-style layouts.
