An isolario, or island book, printed in Venice around 1485 by Guglielmo da Trino and written by Bartolommeo da li Sonetti, dedicated to Giovanni Mocenigo and describing the Aegean islands. The pictures are woodcut-style island maps, each a small circle with a wind rose, coastlines drawn in simple outline, and tiny towns, churches and star-like marks set on the land and sea, a plain diagrammatic vocabulary a designer could borrow for antique map motifs or compass-rose layouts.
