Henrici Glareani Helvetii poetae lavreati De geographia liber vnvs
Henricus Glareanus, a Swiss poet laureate, wrote this 1533 Latin geography treatise printed at Freiburg im Breisgau for scholars and students of cosmography. Its pictures are plain black-and-white woodcut diagrams: concentric spheres of the heavens with planets and star points, and geometric figures of circles, chords and radiating lines on an unshaded page, useful to a designer seeking schematic early-modern astronomical linework.
