Rudimentorum Cosmographicorum Ioan. Honteri Coronensis libri III. cum tabellis Geographicis elegantissimis : De variarum rerum nomenclaturis per classes, liber I
A 1564 Latin cosmography textbook by Johannes Honterus, printed in Zürich by Froschouer the Younger for students of geography. Its woodcut maps show the Levant, Iberia, the Balkans and Sicily with towns, rivers, mountain ridges and sea monsters rendered in dense hatched linework. A designer could take from them the crowded, hand-cut texture of early printed maps, with labels set into the terrain and decorative compass-free borders.
