Disputatio in tres partes divisa, in qua ea, quae de semine sunt controversa inter Peripateticos, et veteres medicos, et doctissimos quosdam neotericos accuratissime discutiuntur
A Latin scholarly treatise of 1609 printed at Treviso by Reghettinus, written by the physician Mundinus and addressed to medical readers debating the nature of human seed. The pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a decorated initial Q, a winged cherub bust set between spread wings, and a decorated initial A framed by foliage. A designer could draw on their compact symmetrical framing, scrolled leafwork and hatched shading for historic borders, emblems or initials.
