Aereoplastes theosophicus is a 1620 emblem book printed at Frankfurt by Jacobus de Zetter and written by Heinrich Oraeus, a Germanic mystical and theosophical collection of engraved allegorical plates. The pictures are small, dense engravings with figures, labelled allegorical personifications, and emblematic landscapes, which a designer might take as compositions for crowded narrative scenes, symbolic props, and period engraved hatching.
