A 1644 Latin medical treatise on melancholy and hypochondria by Gaspare Marcucci, printed in Rome at the Andreas Phaeus press for physicians and scholars. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: a decorated initial T with squirrels among foliage, a decorated initial R with urns and scrollwork, and an oval vignette of a figure beside a tree under the motto Noli altum sapere, useful for designers wanting historic border, initial, and emblem motifs.
