Discours de la conservation de la veue : des maladies melancoliques des catarrhes, & de la vieillesse. Composez par M. André du Laurens, Medecin ordinaire du Roy, et Professeur de sa Majesté, en l’université de Medecine à Montpellier. Derniere Edition
A 1600 French medical treatise on eyesight, melancholy, catarrh and old age by André du Laurens, physician to the King, printed in Rouen by Claude Le Villain for a readership of physicians and educated lay readers. Its title page is set in large capitals with a centred printer's device, a rectangular frame, and a stamped library mark, and a designer might take its strong typographic hierarchy and symmetrical layout as a model for period display type.
