Apian, Peter, 1495-1552, Burndy Library, donor. DSI · 1524 · [Landshutae, impensis P. Apiani] · 7 pictures

Cosmographicus liber is a 1524 cosmography textbook by the mathematician Peter Apian, printed at Landshut and issued at the author's own expense for students of astronomy and geography. Its pages mix dense Latin text with woodcut diagrams of circles, spheres, and the phases of the moon, showing a clean, schematic style a designer could borrow for technical infographics, astronomical charts, or lunar motif patterns.
