Caesaris Vanini Neapolitani theologi, ..., de Admirandis Nature Reginae Deaque Mortalium Arcanis
A Latin philosophical treatise by the Neapolitan theologian Giulio Cesare Vanini, printed in Paris in 1616 by Adrien Périer for a learned scholarly readership. The pictures are sparse: a dense page of printed Latin text with handwritten marginal annotations, a title page framed by an engraved ornamental border, a small woodcut ornament of foliage and a central face, and a simple geometric diagram of a curve labelled A, B, C, D. A designer might take from them the period contrast between crowded type and bold framed title layout, and the economical line-drawn diagram.
