Traicté de la vraye unique grande et universelle medecine des anciens...dite des recens or potable..
A 1633 French medical treatise by David de Planis Campy, printed in Paris by François Targa, setting out a claimed universal remedy for physicians and readers of the period. The pictures are letterpress details: a large roman title line with a decorative headpiece of scrolls and figures, a small ornamental tailpiece, a historiated initial letter, and a chapter heading in clean serif type, which a designer could draw on for typographic borders, initials and classic book ornament.
