Regimen sanitatis
Regimen sanitatis is a medical health manual attributed to Arnaldus de Villanova, with a commentary by Catalan physician Novellus, printed in Venice around 1500 for physicians and scholars. The title page woodcut shows a physician seated at a desk with an astrolabe and a stargazing scene, while an ex libris plate shows a scholar reading at a lectern beside a heraldic crest and bookshelves, offering designers early printed borders, letterforms and scholarly woodcut imagery.
