Recreations mathematiques et physiques : qvi contiennent plusieurs problêmes d'arithmetique, de geometrie, d'optique, de gnomonique, de cosmographie, de mecanique, de pyrotechnie, & de physique : avec un traité nouveau des horloges elementaires
Recreations mathematiques et physiques is a 1694 Paris mathematics and science compendium by Jacques Ozanam, published by Jean Jombert, with a treatise on elementary clocks by Domenico Martinelli. Its numbered plates show geometric constructions, sundials, and astronomical diagrams drawn as crisp black-line engravings on white paper. A designer could draw on their precise linework, labelled circles, and radiating ray diagrams for scientific or geometric graphics.
