Methodus apodemica : in eorum gratiam, qui cum fructu in quocunq[ue] tandem vitae genere peregrinari cupiunt

Zwinger, Theodor, 1533-1588 · 1577 · Basileae : Eusebii Episcopii opera atque impensa · 2 pictures

Methodus apodemica is a 1577 Basel treatise by the physician and scholar Theodor Zwinger, written as a guide for travellers who wanted to learn something useful from their journeys. The two pictures are tree-style outline diagrams of Latin categories, branching from a single heading into subdivisions with brace brackets and fine ruled lines. A designer might borrow the hierarchical bracket-and-branch layout as a structure for organizing information or a family-tree style chart.
