Introductio geographica is a 1533 Latin geography and astronomy treatise by Petrus Apianus, printed at Ingolstadt, commenting on Johannes Werner's notes and a new translation of Ptolemy's Geographia for scholars. Its diagrams are geometric constructions of circles, arcs and lettered points, with spherical figures showing lines of latitude and longitude, offering a designer clean, precise linework and an early-modern scientific diagram vocabulary.
