Traicté de la peste selon la doctrine des médecins spagyriques
A 1629 plague treatise in French by physician Pierre Jean Fabre, printed in Toulouse by Raimond Colomiez for medical readers and practitioners of the period. The pictures are small woodcut historiated initials and ornamental capitals, with a lion, figures and dense foliage set into the letterforms, which a designer could draw on for decorative drop caps and early-modern ornament.
