Margarita philosophica
Margarita philosophica is a 1504 encyclopedia compiled by Gregor Reisch, a Carthusian monk, and printed in Freiburg im Breisgau for scholars and students of the liberal arts. Its woodcut pages are dense, with small framed scenes of craft workers, roundels of sky and landscape, and crowded battle or crowd groups, all printed in black ink on cream paper.
