Traité de la peste contenant sa définition, ses espèces et différences, ses causes, ses signes, ses accidens, sa cure et les moyens de s'en garentir
A French medical treatise on plague by Isaac Quatroux, printed in Paris in 1671 by Edme Couterot at the sign of the Bon Pasteur, written for physicians and general readers facing epidemic disease. The pictures are plain letterpress pages: dense italic and roman type, chapter headings in small capitals, and a decorative printer's headpiece of foliage around a grotesque mask above a library stamp on the title page, offering a designer a model for period typography and ornament.
