Compilatio Leupoldi ducatus Austrie filij de astrorum scientia : decem continens tractatus
Compilatio Leupoldi is an early printed astronomy treatise in ten parts, published in Augsburg by Erhard Ratdolt, and attributed to Leupold, Duke of Austria. The pictures are woodcut astrological diagrams: a square frame divided into eight triangular fields, each marked with planetary and zodiac symbols around a central Latin caption. A designer might draw on their symmetrical geometry, dense small glyphs, and the spare black-on-cream typography of the early printed page.
