This is a 1530 German veterinary and animal-husbandry treatise printed at Strasbourg by Christian Egenolph, compiled from classical Roman authors Varro, Pliny, Vergil and Palladius for farmers and horse keepers. The title page woodcut shows a farmyard with a horse, cattle and a seated figure, in a plain, crowded, bold-lined style useful for rustic, agrarian or heritage-themed design. The first picture is a later Heidelberg University bookplate-style title with an ornate architectural frame and crest, showing ornamental pilasters and strapwork.
