Cosmographia, siue descriptio vniuersi orbis,
A 1584 Antwerp edition of Cosmographia, a Latin cosmography and geography textbook by Peter Apian, expanded by Gemma Frisius and printed by Johannes Bellerus for scholars and students of the sciences of the world. Its woodcut pictures show instruments for measuring the sky and earth, diagrams of the globe and of latitude lines, and the eclipse and sun-and-cone geometry of early astronomy, drawn in clean line work that a designer could borrow for scientific diagrams, celestial motifs, or antique map borders.
