Thesaurus artificiosae memoriae : concionatoribus, philosophis, medicis, iuristis, oratoribus, procuratoribus, caeterisque bonarum litterarum amatoribus : negociatoribus insuper, aliisque similibus, tenacem, ac firmam rerum memoriam cupientibus, perutilis ... : cum indicibus locupletissimis, tum capitum, tum rerum omnium insigniorum
A 1579 Latin treatise on the art of memory by Cosmas Rossellius, printed in Venice by Antonio Paduano for scholars, preachers, lawyers and physicians who wanted a retentive memory. Its woodcut pages arrange symbols, alphabets and figures in grids, with one standing figure surrounded by letters and planetary marks, offering a designer a dense source of inscribed sigils, Hebrew and Chaldean letterforms, and diagrammatic order.
