Ars conjectandi is a posthumous 1713 treatise on probability by the Basel mathematician Jakob Bernoulli, printed in Basel by the Thurneysen brothers for mathematicians and scholars. Its pictures are plain geometric diagrams with lettered points and curves, and a tabulated grid of numbers, plus a small woodcut of a flower vase. A designer might take from them the clean rhythm of a printed table and the precision of hand-drawn construction lines.
