Exercitationem inauguralem de epilepsia

Etzler, Christian, active 1690 · 1690 · Wittenbergae : Charact. Matthaei Henckelii · 1 picture

A Latin medical dissertation on epilepsy by Christian Etzler, printed in Wittenberg in 1690 for academic use. The single picture is a letterpiece page opening: a large ornamental initial A with dense scrollwork and foliate curls beside a block of black-letter-style Latin text. A designer could take the decorated capital and interlaced vine ornament as a model for display lettering or framing borders.
