Dissertatio inauguralis medica, exhibens, juvenem ophthalmia laborantem
A Latin medical dissertation printed at Giessen in 1683 by Johann Eberhard Schleiermacher, written as an academic exercise for university students of medicine and the physicians they would train as. The two pictures are woodcut decorative elements: a strapwork border piece with a central grotesque mask and foliage, and a large initial letter Q filled with interlaced scrolls, leaves and dotted ornament inside a ring frame.
