Quaestiones physicae
A Latin natural philosophy treatise by Johann Thomas Freigius, printed in Basel in 1585 by Sebastian Henricpetri for scholars and students of physics. Its two pictures are a decorative cartouche frame with a central oval of a figure and a bird-like emblem, and a title page with a similar ornamental frame beside a stamped roundel showing a bearded classical head in profile. A designer could take the strapwork cartouche and the oval medallion layout as models for ornamental framing.
