Disputatio inauguralis sistens aegrum pleuro-pneumonia laborantem ...
A Latin medical dissertation by Johann Conrad Amman, printed at Basel in 1687 by Jacob Bertsch, presented as an academic disputation on pleurisy and pneumonia. Its pictures are small printed ornaments: a dense strip of foliage and grotesque figures along one edge, and a woodcut initial V framed by a ruled border with a flower and fern-like leaves, useful for designers seeking historic border and initial-letter motifs.
