Dissertationem inauguralem de febre petechiali ...

Schmidt, Johann Heinrich, active 1684-1691 · 1685 · Altdorffii : Literis Schönnerstaedtianis · 2 pictures

A Latin medical dissertation on petechial fever by Johann Heinrich Schmidt, printed at Altdorf in 1685 with Schönnerstaedt's press, most likely for university examination and circulation among physicians and scholars. Its two pictures are small woodcut ornaments, a symmetrical floral cartouche of pomegranate-like fruit and rosettes, and a compact tulip-and-feather finial, suited to a designer seeking early modern decorative endpieces and borders.
