La commare o raccoglitrice ... divisa in tre libri
A 1676 Venetian midwifery treatise by Scipione Mercurio, revised by Pietro di Castro, printed for a midwife audience and held by the Wellcome Library. The pictures are sparse: decorated printed initial letters with foliate ornament and a small woodcut of a still-life vessel set above flames, with the title page showing a plain classical typographic layout.
