Oratio de thermarum potu. In ... inclytae academiae Basiliensis cum solemnitates doctorales subierit publice dicta ...
A Latin oration printed in Basel in 1647 by Georgii Decker, by Johann Jakob Wepfer, delivered at a university academic ceremony, so its audience was scholars and graduates. The two pictures are small black-and-white woodcut printers' ornaments: a large decorated initial M with foliage inside its letterforms, and a symmetrical scrolled fleuron with hatched leaves and dotted circles, both useful for designers seeking historical letter and border devices.
