Volumen secundum.
A Latin alchemical treatise in printed text, with its sheets carrying tables of symbols, planetary and elemental signs, and lettered diagrams, apparently from a collection held by the C.G. Jung library and dating from the early modern period. The pictures are small woodcut-style diagrams of crosses, circles, and grids on aged paper, useful to a designer for their dense, schematic typography and emblematic symbol systems.
