Sommaire de la medecine chymique : où l'on void clairement beaucoup de choses que les autheurs ont tenuës iusques icy dans l'obscuritè : auec vn Recueil de diuers secrets de medecine
A French chemical medicine treatise printed in Paris in 1632 by Pierre Billaine, attributed to François Du Soucy, with a collection of medical secrets for physicians and apothecaries. Its pictures are woodcut ornaments: a foliate strapwork headpiece and tailpiece with grotesque figures, and two decorated initial letters, L and E, filled with scrollwork and small figures, useful to a designer looking for early modern printed ornament and border motifs.
