Nicandri veteris Poetae et Medici Theriaca et Alexipharmaca, cum scholiis
A 1531 Latin edition of the ancient Greek poet and physician Nicander's treatises on poisons and antidotes, with commentary, printed at Cologne by Johan Soter and translated by Johan Lonicer. The pictures are a black-and-white woodcut initial with a leafy rosette border and a woodcut printer's device in a laurel wreath with a putto holding a scroll bearing a pentagram and letters. A designer might take from them the dense black-letter typography set beside an ornamental woodcut frame, and the symmetrical wreath emblem as a model for a roundel logo.
