Libellus ad evitandum et expellendum morbum gallicum
A early sixteenth-century medical treatise printed in Venice in 1502 by B.V. de Vitalibus, written by Juan de Almenar on avoiding and expelling the French disease, meaning syphilis. The single picture is a woodcut printer's ornament: a circular frame enclosing two confronted birds with foliage and a central heart-shaped motif, set in a square border with vine sprigs at the corners.
