Cosmographia Petri Apiani is a 1545 astronomy and geography textbook by Peter Apian and Gemma Frisius, printed in Antwerp for a scholarly readership. Its pages show printed woodcut diagrams of the heavens, spheres and eclipses, set in Latin text with plain black linework on cream paper. A designer might take from them the clean radial geometry of celestial charts and the precise line-drawn sphere forms.
