Piccolomini, Alessandro, 1508-1578 · 1558 · In Venetia, : Per Gio. Varisco, & Compagni. · 14 pictures

Alessandro Piccolomini's 1558 Venetian treatise on the fixed stars, printed by Gio. Varisco & Compagni for astronomers and students, with star charts of the 48 constellations. The pages show star-plot diagrams with numbered stars, compass labels (versodove, donde, parte verso il polo) and scale bars in degrees, all in plain black ink on cream paper, useful for a designer seeking precise, schematic star-field layouts and sparse dot patterns.
