Le Maistre en chirurgie ou l'abrege de chirurgie de Guy de Chauliac...dressé en faveur des jeunes aspirans
A French surgical manual published in Paris in 1691 by Laurent d'Houry, compiled by Laurent Verduc from Guy de Chauliac's medieval text for young surgeons-in-training. The pictures are a dropped-capital woodcut of an ornate initial L with foliage and flowers, and a copperplate ex libris of the Royal College of Surgeons of Paris with a crowned shield, scrolled cartouche and laurel branches, offering designers period decorative lettering and heraldic framing devices.
