Scope and content
(Engraved by I. David, from a design by F. C. The central illustration depicts two vipers, one with the head of the other in its mouth, forming a circle around the motto ‘Quod tibi fieri non vis, alteri ne feceris’, all within a roundel with female figures on either side. Above the roundel is a monogram of the letters ‘IASDT’, and below it a printer’s mark containing the initials ‘I A S’. This device appears in the edition of Paracelsus’s works published by the brothers in 1668.)
