A Latin medical compendium by Niccolò Bertucci, a fourteenth-century Bolognese physician, printed in Cologne in 1537 by Melchior von Neuss and edited by Johannes Caesarius for a learned readership of physicians and students. Its four initials are woodcut letters set in dense black grounds, with figures and foliage worked into the counters and borders, a sixteenth-century decorative vocabulary a designer could adapt for display lettering or ornamental capitals.
