Fr. Iunctini Florentini, sacrae theologiae doctoris, commentaria in tertium & quartum capitulum Sphaerae Io. de Sacro Bosco
This is a 1577 Latin commentary on the astronomy textbook Sphaera by Johannes de Sacrobosco, written by the Florentine theologian Francesco Giuntini and printed at Lyon by Philippe Tinghi for a scholarly readership of students and teachers. The pictures are small woodcut diagrams of concentric spheres, eccentric orbits, epicycles and the zodiac, printed among dense Latin text, with clean linework, radiating rings and lettered reference points that a designer could adapt for geometric or cosmic motifs.
