A 1517 Latin treatise on the human body by the Renaissance humanist Galeotto Marzio, printed in Turin by Giovanni Angelo and Bernardino de Silva, with Giorgio Merula's replies and Marzio's rebuttal included, aimed at scholars and physicians. The four pictures are ornamental printed initials, each a large letter filled with interlacing scrollwork, leaves, flowers and small dots in black and white, showing how early Italian printers decorated the opening letter of a text and offering designers period-style capitals and border patterns.
