Tractatus de peste ac febribus cum puncticulis vulgo tavardillo
A 1582 Latin medical treatise on plague and fevers, printed in Seville by Ferdinando Maldonado and written by Juan de Carmona for physicians and scholars. The pictures are letterpiece initials: ornate woodcut capitals framed in black, filled with interlaced knots, leafy scrolls and small flower-like rosettes, set beside dense roman type, useful for borders, drop caps and vintage typographic motifs.
