Pomponii Melae De orbis situ libri tres, : accuratissime emendati,
A 1522 Latin edition of Pomponius Mela's geography De orbis situ, printed at Basel by Andreas Cratander and edited by Joachim Vadianus and Joannes Camers for a scholarly readership. The pictures are a decorated initial letter with dense Greek and Latin type, a framed woodcut of a standing nude figure in an arched border, and a heraldic coat of arms with a motto banner; a designer might take the ornate initial, the arched woodcut frame, and the crest-and-banner layout as models for historical display typography.
