Cosmographia Petri Apiani,
Cosmographia is a 1550 cosmography and geography textbook by Peter Apian, with additions by Gemma Frisius, printed at Antwerp for students of geography and the heavens. Its pictures are small woodcut diagrams: ornate border rings labelled with compass points, climate zone tables, a world map in a circle, and a grid of coordinates, offering designers dense, schematic ornament and framing ideas.
