Oryktographia Hildesheimensis : sive, admirandorum fossilium, quae in tractu Hildesheimensi reperiuntur, descriptio iconibus illustrata, cui addita sunt alia de calculis de fontibus, &c.
Oryktographia Hildesheimensis is a 1669 Latin treatise on fossils and mineral curiosities found near Hildesheim, written by Friedrich Lachmund and printed at his own expense for a learned scholarly readership. Its woodcut plates show numbered fossils and stones drawn in close parallel hatching, with one carved figure, offering a designer a model for clear, labelled scientific diagrams and engraved line shading.
