P. Dioscoridae pharmacorum simplicium reique medicae libri VIII, Jo. Ruellio interprete. Una cum Herm. Barbari corollariis, et Marc. Vergilii in singula capita censuris, sive annotationibus...
A 1529 Latin medical treatise on drugs and herbs by Dioscorides, edited by Jo. Ruellius and printed at Strasbourg by Johann Schott, held in a Paris pharmacy college library. Its pictures are woodcut decorative initials, each letter built around a small scene: a man in a boat with birds above, and a figure climbing a ladder toward a winged putto, with a man below. The letters are bold, carved black masses with figures set inside the counters, a useful model for designers seeking historical capitals with narrative vignettes.
