Circulus Pisanus is a 1643 Latin treatise on Aristotelian physics by Claude Guillermet de Bérigard, printed at Udine by the Schiratti press for university readers of natural philosophy. Its pictures are small woodcut ornaments: strapwork cartouches, scrolled borders, and a framed figure in a roundel, showing how Baroque printers built decorative headpieces and frames from interlocking scrolls, masks, and garlands.
