Title-page of Gordonio’s Lilio de Medicina: Ungut and Stanislaus, Seville

From Haebler’s Early Printers of Spain and Portugal (facsimile), Lilio de Medicina (scan)

Another book printed at Ungut at Seville in 1495—Lilio de Medicina—has a magnificent title-page which is distinctly Spanish in effect—a very important decoration bearing the words of the title, with a block of massive round black-letter beneath it.
