Agrippa von Nettesheim, Heinrich Cornelius, 1486?-1535, History of Medicine Collections (Duke University) NcD · 1600 · Lugduni, Beringos Fratres · 9 pictures

A Latin scholarly collection of works by the humanist Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, printed in Lyon in 1600 by the Beringos brothers for learned readers of the period. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: decorative cartouches with scrolls, a central lion mask, and a crowned column emblem with Latin mottoes in banners. A designer might draw on these as compact, symmetrical frame and emblem motifs for title pages or vignettes.
