Disputatio medica, quâ illustris & gratiosissimi senatûs medici consensu, Immoderatum mensium profluvium ...
A Latin medical disputation printed at Jena in 1665 under the presidency of Johann Theodor Schenck, a university dissertation on excessive menstrual flow written for the faculty of medicine and its students. Its single picture is a printer's ornament, a symmetrical fretwork tailpiece of interlaced strapwork and stylised flowers in a tapering wedge shape, the kind of decorative end-piece a designer could borrow for dividers, borders or headers in a historical style.
