Divi Hippocratis Coi Prognosticôn latina ecphrasis ex mente Galeni

Hippocrate, Calexius, Blondellus · 1575 · Lutetiae, M. Patissonus · 5 pictures

A 1575 Latin edition of Hippocratic prognostics, printed in Paris by M. Patisson with commentary attributed to Calexius and Blondellus, aimed at physicians and medical students. The pictures are small woodcut and engraved devices: a shield of arms inside a ring of knotted cord with a pendant medallion, a decorated initial T with foliage, a tree with a figure and a bust of Hippocrates in a roundel, and a black scrolling ornament, which a designer could draw on for heraldic, initial-letter, or printer's-flourish motifs.
