Commentarius in magni Hippocratis... librum de Morbis virginum, antepositis verbis graecis et iisdem latine redditis par Giovanni Battista Donati
A 1582 Latin medical commentary by Giovanni Battista Donati on Hippocrates' treatise on diseases of young women, printed at Lucca from the library of Iulius Guidobonius. The three pictures are woodcut decorative initials and an ornamental fleuron set into the printed text, showing strapwork, scrolls and interlaced foliage in a Renaissance manner. A designer could draw on the boxed initial letters, with their frames of curling leaves and knotted bands, for borders, monograms or lettering.
