Aristotelis loca mathematica ex vniuersis ipsius operibus collecta, & explicata : Aristotelicae videlicet expositionis complementum hactenus desideratum : accessere De natura mathematicarum scientarium tractatio : atq; Clarorum mathematicorum chronologia
A 1615 Bolognese scholarly treatise by the Jesuit mathematician Giuseppe Biancani, printed by Bartholomaeus Cochius for Hieronymus Tamburinus, collecting and explaining Aristotle's mathematical passages for students of natural philosophy. Its pictures are plain letter-labelled geometric diagrams in dark single-colour line on cream paper: concentric circles with radii, a rectangle with crossing diagonals, an inscribed circle with a diameter and perpendicular, and a rolling wheel tangent to a straight line. A designer could borrow their clean, schematic diagram language for technical or instructional graphics.
