Censorinus De die natali
Censorinus's De die natali is a Latin treatise on calendars and chronology by the Roman writer Censorinus, printed at Cambridge in 1695 by John Hayes for Thomas Dawson, and aimed at scholars of ancient time-reckoning. The single picture is a diagram from the text: a circle of zodiac signs crossed by a triangle and star-like marks, drawn in plain black line on a pale, lightly textured page, offering a designer a simple geometric emblem of cosmic order and cycles.
