Cl. Galeni Pergameni de Clysteribus et colica liber : A Iohannitio e Graeca in arabicam, et inde a kalonymo in Hebraeam linguam, translatus

Galien · 1591 · Lugduni Batavorum : ex officina Plantiniana, apud Franciscum Raphelengium · 2 pictures

This is a 1591 Latin medical treatise by the ancient physician Galen, on enemas and colic, printed at Leiden by the Plantin press and held by a Paris university health library. The pictures are a bookplate of a physician named Baron with an engraved armorial cartouche, and a printed page with a Plantin-style device showing a stag and a motto, plus a round stamp bearing a bust portrait; a designer could take the ornate cartouche framing and the crisp small-scale emblem as models for seals, labels and heraldic vignettes.
