Matricula facultatis medicae I, 1559-1800
A matriculation register of the medical faculty, dating from 1559 and kept in a Swiss library, probably compiled for the faculty's own members and students. Its pictures are hand-painted heraldic coats of arms set in circular or oval borders of foliage, scrollwork and ribbon, with rich blues, reds and gilt that a designer could borrow for emblem or badge systems.
