Dissertatio medica de aquae calidae potu ...
A Latin medical dissertation on drinking warm water, written by Heinrich Meibom and printed at Helmstedt in 1689 for scholars and physicians of the period. Its two pictures are a large capital-lettered title line reading GVSTO & DOMINO in heavy roman caps, and an ornate woodcut initial Q with birds, scrollwork and foliage set against blank space, which a designer could borrow for letterform hierarchy and decorative framing.
