La géomance dv seigneur Christofe de Cattan, gentilhomme Geneuois, Liure non moins plaisant & recreatif, que d'ingenieuse inuention, pour sçauoir toutes choses, presentes, passes, & à aduenir avec la Roüe de Pythagoras
A 1567 Paris printed treatise on geomancy by Christoforo Cattan, a gentleman of Geneva, published for Gilles Gilles and aimed at readers wanting to divine past, present and future. The pictures are small woodcut and typeset diagrams: a star-pattern figure with planetary and elemental symbols, a grid of dotted geomantic figures labelled Feu, Air, Eau and Terre, a celestial sphere with a zodiac wheel, and an ornate historiated initial showing a winged figure, which a designer could borrow for dense star-dot patterns, tabular layouts, and decorative capital letters.
