Polygraphie et vniuerselle escriture cabalistique
Polygraphie et vniuerselle escriture cabalistique is a 1561 cryptography treatise by Johannes Trithemius, translated into French by Gabriel de Collange and printed in Paris by Jacques Kerver for a scholarly readership. Its pictures are letterpress diagrams of numbered wheels divided into segments, framed by ornamental borders and set beside dense French text, with a separate black-and-cream floral panel repeated as a decorative device; a designer might borrow the radial wheel layouts for circular infographics or the cut-paper style ornament for frames and dividers.
