Observations medicinales et chirurgicales, avec histoires, noms, pays, saisons & temoignages
Observations medicinales et chirurgicales is a 1617 French medical casebook by surgeon Guillaume Loyseau, printed at Bordeaux by Gilbert Vernoy for a physician and surgeon readership. Its pages are dense black-letter-style roman type with italic case narratives, a decorative grotesque woodcut initial, and marginal page-reference lists, offering a designer compact typographic texture, historic ornament, and tight justified columns.
