Rudimentorum Cosmographicorum Ioan. Honteri Coronensis libri III. cum tabellis Geographicis elegantissimis : De variarum rerum nomenclaturis per classes, liber I
A 1573 Latin cosmography textbook by Johannes Honterus, printed in Zurich by Froschauer's press for students learning geography. Its pages are woodcut maps of the Near East, Mediterranean lands, Europe and Africa, with dense place names, mountain hatching and sea patterns in black ink on cream paper; a designer could take their compact, hand-cut cartographic linework and sea-wave textures as a model for historic map graphics.
