Pharmacopoeae, Jacobi Sylvii medici libri tres, his, qui artem medicam, & pharmacopoea[m] tractant exercentque, maximè necessarii.
A 1548 Latin pharmacy and medicine treatise by Jacques Dubois (Jacobus Sylvius), printed at Lyon by Guillaume Rouillé for physicians and apothecaries. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, each letter framed with a putto or cherub among foliage, shown in tidy black-line hatching that a designer could borrow for decorative capitals or vintage ornament.
