Prodromus dissertationum cosmographicarum, continens mysterium cosmographicum, de admirabili proportione orbium coelestium, deque causis coelorum numeri, magnitudinis, motuumque periodicorum genuinis & propriis, demonstratum, per quinque regularia corpora geometrica
Kepler's 1596 Prodromus dissertationum cosmographicarum, printed in Tübingen by Georg Gruppenbach, is an early astronomy treatise setting out his Mysterium cosmographicum on planetary orbits and the regular solids. The pictures are black-and-white geometric diagrams of circles, tangents, nested orbits and letter-labelled points, drawn with fine line work that a designer could borrow for technical or mapped schematics.
