De ortu infantium contra naturam, per sectionem Caesaream : tractatio: qua reliqui item conscientiae nodi ad matrem aluo gerentem, ac foetum, eiúsque partum spectantes, solidè et accuratè expediuntur
A 1637 Latin medical treatise on caesarean birth by the Jesuit Théophile Raynaud, printed at Lyon by Claude Cayne for the publisher Gabriel Boissat, written for physicians and clergy weighing childbirth cases. Its pictures are small woodcut decorated initials, with the 'I' and 'N' letters built from tangled foliage, scrollwork and a grotesque face, offering a designer historical ornamental lettering to adapt for drop caps.
