Cosmographia elementaris is a 1674 Latin cosmography and astronomy disputation by the Jesuit mathematics professor Kaspar Knittel, printed in Nuremberg by the Endter heirs for students at the Charles-Ferdinand University in Prague. Its engraved frontispiece-style plates combine allegorical female figures, cherubs, globes, armillary spheres, a double-headed eagle and cartouche scrollwork, a dense emblematic vocabulary a designer could adapt for scientific title pages.
