Margarita philosophica is a Latin encyclopedia of the liberal arts compiled by Gregor Reisch, printed at Freiburg im Breisgau in 1503 for students and scholars. Its pictures are simple geometric and astronomical diagrams, with circles, labelled points, and triangles drawn in a plain woodcut or line style that a designer could borrow for schematic or instructional graphics.
