Observationes juris practicae : thet är åthskillige påminnelser uthi rättegångs saker ... Kort beskriffning om thet som wid then Constantinopolitaniske resan är föreluppit
Observationes juris practicae is a 1679 Swedish legal treatise by Claes Rålamb (1622-1698), printed by Henrich Keyser and bundling notes on court cases with an account of his Constantinople journey. Its pictures are small woodcut and line diagrams of kinship trees, with circles linked by lines and labelled in Swedish and Danish, plus a decorative woodcut ornament of foliage, angels and a central cartouche. A designer might take the diagram layouts as examples of tidy schematic charts and the ornament as a model for dense, symmetrical vintage border work.
