Strabonis ... Rerum geographicarum commentarii libri septemdecem
A 1571 Basel edition of Strabo's geography, edited by Wilhelm Xylander and printed by Henricpetri for scholars and readers of classical geography. Its pictures are woodcut maps of Arabia, India, Germany, and Europe with ornate cartouches, dense place-name lettering, and hatched mountain ranges, useful to a designer for early modern cartographic borders, compass-rose framing, and engraved lettering.
