Galenime dicorvm Exhortatio ad bonas arteis, praesertim medicinam, de optimo docendi genere, & quale oporteat esse medicu
A 1526 Greek-Roman medical treatise by Galen, edited by Erasmus and printed in Basel by Johann Froben, aimed at students and physicians of medicine. Its pictures are small woodcut historiated initials, with figures inside letter forms and scenes of cherubs, a seated scholar, and a caduceus-like serpent staff, useful to a designer seeking compact decorative capitals and emblematic ornament.
