Explication mécanique et physique des fonctions de l'âme sensitive
This 1678 Paris treatise by Guillaume Lamy, printed by Lambert Roulland, explains the mechanical and physical functions of the sensitive soul, written in French for physicians and readers of medical literature. Its pages are dense, justified French text set in roman type with a large decorated initial Q and long unbroken paragraphs, offering a designer a sober model for historical text layout, drop caps and classic book typography.
