Claudii Galeni Pergameni opera diversa iam primum in lucem aedita

Galien · 1536 · Parisiis : ex officina Somonis Colinaei · 4 pictures

A 1536 Paris edition of Galen's medical works, printed by Simon de Colines and issued as a scholarly Latin text for physicians and students of medicine. The pictures are black-and-white letterpage typography and woodcuts: an ornate historiated initial Q with foliage, dense running text with marginal notes, a printed index column of terms and folio numbers, and a woodcut of a winged figure holding a club with scrolling banners, showing how type, initials and scroll-banner lettering organise a page.
