Ordonnances sur la composition des medicamens, que les Apothicaires doivent dispenser en leurs boutiques : reformees et illustrees
A 1603 French pharmacopoeia by Nicolas Abraham de La Framboisière, printed in Paris by Rolin Thierry and Eustache Foucault for apothecaries to follow in their shops. The pictures are small woodcut historiated initials and typeset pages: one large M enclosing a bearded robed figure, a decorative ornamented capital T, and dense italic and roman lists of ingredients and doses, offering a designer strong examples of early seventeenth-century letterform decoration and text layout.
