A 1552 Paris astronomy and cosmography textbook by the French astrologer Antoine Mizauld, printed by Guillaume Cavellat for students and scholars of the heavens. Its pictures are small woodcut diagrams of armillary spheres, concentric celestial circles around an earth map, a sundial-like gnomon, and a sun-and-shadow geometry figure, which a designer could draw on for sketchy technical line work and early-modern scientific schematics.
