Sanctorii commentaria in artem Medicinalem Galeni Libri tres

Galien, Santorio, Santorio (éd.) · 1632 · Lyon, Jean Pillehotte · 5 pictures

A 1632 Latin medical commentary on Galen by Santorio Santorio, printed in Lyon by Jean Pillehotte and held by a Paris university health library. Its pictures are small woodcut and engraved printer's ornaments, including a winged cherub head with foliage, a grotesque mask with scrolls, a cartouche with IHS and an ex-libris stamp, and a female face framed by fruit swags above a title line; a designer could draw on these as compact decorative headpieces and framing motifs.
