Rodolphi Goclenii uranoscopiae, chiroscopiae, metoposcopiae, et ophtalmoscopiae, contemplatio, qua probatur, divinationem ex astris, lineisque manuum, fronte, facie & oculis nec impiam esse nec superstitiosam
Rudolph Goclenius's 1608 treatise defending astrological divination, chiromancy, metoposcopy and ophthalmoscopy as neither impious nor superstitious, printed in Frankfurt for scholars and readers of occult learning. Its pages carry square horoscope diagrams with planetary glyphs, dates and latitudes set in small Latin type, and a designer could take from them the geometry of a diamond-within-square chart and the compact textual layout of an early modern scholarly book.
