P. Gasparis Schotti ... Cursus mathematicus, sive absoluta omnium mathematicarum disciplinarum Encyclopaedia, in libros XXVIII digesta ... : ; accesserunt in fine theoreses mechanicae novae
A 1661 mathematical encyclopaedia by the Jesuit Kaspar Schott, printed in Frankfurt for the heirs of Johann Gottfried Schönwetter, aimed at scholars and students of mathematics. Its pictures are repeated decorative headpieces: symmetrical woodcut ornaments of scrolls, cartouches, masks and foliage in a dense Renaissance strapwork style, useful to designers wanting a compact, centred ornament for a header or tailpiece.
