Operae horarum succisiuarum, sive Meditationes historicae. : Continentes accuratum delectum memorabilium historiarum, & rerum tam veterum, quàm recentium, singulari studio inuicem collatarum, quae omnia lectoribus & uberem admodum fructum, & liberalem pariter oblectationem afferre poterunt. Unà cum indice locupletissimo.
A Latin miscellany of historical anecdotes and extracts compiled by Philipp Camerarius and printed at Nuremberg in 1591 for scholarly readers, with a section drawn from Benzoni's account of the New World. The single picture is a pen-and-ink drawing of an hourglass-like vessel with a ring at its waist, the hand-drawn diagram of a clear, simple object.
