Praecepta doctrinae logicae, ethicae, physicae, metaphysicae, sphaericaeque brevibus tabellis compacta: una cum quaestionibus physicae controversis
A Latin scholastic textbook of logic, ethics, physics, metaphysics and spherics, compiled by Johann Stier and printed in Cambridge by R. Daniel in 1647, held by the Wellcome Library. The pictures are small woodcut emblems, each a palm-like tree with feathery fronds above a rope-like trunk and a scroll banner reading DEPRESSA RESVRGO, drawn in crisp, evenly spaced black line on pale paper, useful for a designer studying compact emblematic devices and motto banners.
