Rudimentorum Cosmographicorum Ioan. Honteri Coronensis libri III. cum tabellis Geographicis elegantissimis : De variarum rerum nomenclaturis per classes, liber I
Johannes Honterus's 1570 cosmography primer, printed in Zurich at Froschauer's press, offers a Renaissance student's introduction to geography through woodcut maps of Italy, Eastern Europe, Asia Minor and the Balkans. The pictures are dense black-line woodcuts with tiny town names, hatched mountain ranges and wavy rivers, a model for designers wanting compact cartographic linework and labelled-terrain patterns.
