Antonii Deusingii ... De vero systemate mundi dissertatio mathematica : quâ Copernici systema mundi reformatur : sublatis interim infinitis penè orbibus, quibus in systemate Ptolemaico humana mens distrahitur
A 1643 Latin astronomy dissertation by Anton Deusing, printed in Amsterdam by the Elzevier press, arguing for a reformed Copernican model of the cosmos for scholars and students. Its pictures are precise geometric diagrams of concentric circles, orbits, and epicycles drawn in fine black line on cream paper, with lettered points and radiating lines, useful to a designer seeking orrery-like schematic linework and early modern technical notation.
