Nox attica. Hoc est. Dialogus de impressione metheorologica, et cometa anni domini 1618.
Nox attica is a 1619 astronomical dialogue on the 1618 comet and meteorological impressions, written by Luis de Avelar and printed at Coimbra for scholars and the university. Its pictures are woodcut heraldic devices, a title-page cartouche, and star-chart constellations with fine hatched linework, useful to a designer for early modern emblematic borders, coats of arms, and celestial diagram motifs.
