This 1631 Frankfurt medical treatise by Adriaan van de Spiegel, edited posthumously by Liberalis Crema, covers the human foetus, anatomy and arthritis for physicians and students. Its pictures are decorative woodcut initials with dense scrollwork, leaf and foliage ornament, and hatched shading, showing how a designer might build a framed capital letter from interlaced vines and flourishes.
