Kepler's Harmonices mundi, printed at Linz in 1619 by Godofredus Tampachius and Ioannes Plancus, is a scholarly treatise on geometry and music aimed at astronomers and natural philosophers. Its pictures are diagrams of polygons, stars and circles inscribed in one another, showing how regular figures generate proportion, a useful source for geometric star and polygon motifs.
