La prima parte delle theoriche ouero Speculationi de' pianeti,
This is an Italian astronomy treatise on planetary theory by Alessandro Piccolomini, printed in Venice in 1563 by Giovanni Varisco and company for scholars of the cosmos. Its pictures are geometric diagrams of concentric orbits, epicycles and deferents drawn with plain black line on the page, with letter labels and zodiac signs around the rims, offering a designer clean schematic linework and circular compositions.
