Bartolommeo da li Sonetti, active 1485 · 1532 · [Venice : s.n.] · 5 pictures

A 1532 Venetian printed book of verse by Bartolommeo da li Sonetti, active 1485, held by the John Carter Brown Library, whose pages carry diagrams and maps of the Aegean and the known world. The pictures are black-and-white woodcut style: a circular chart with compass-like wind lines, a celestial diagram with a grid of rhumb lines, and a world map with clouded wind heads in the corners, showing how early sea charts were drawn and labelled and offering a designer models for compass roses, radial grids and decorative cartographic borders.
