Hieronymi Cardani Mediolanensis Medici De Rervm Varietate Libri XVII : Adiectus est capitum, rerum & sententiarum notatu dignissimarum Index
Hieronymi Cardani's De Rervm Varietate, a 1557 Latin encyclopedic miscellany of seventeen books by the Milanese physician and mathematician Girolamo Cardano, printed by Petri and held by the Eisenbibliothek Schlatt. The pictures are plain line diagrams of circles, chords, concentric rings and dissected rectangles, set in the printed text with simple letter labels and no shading, so they suit a designer looking for early geometric figures and their labelled, schematic style.
