Cosmographicus liber Petri Apiani mathematici,
Cosmographicus liber is a 1529 cosmography and geography text by mathematician Peter Apian, with additions by Gemma Frisius, printed in Antwerp by Rolandus Bollaert for scholars and students of the heavens. Its pictures are rows of hand-printed circles showing the moon's phases and eclipses, each dated by month and year, in dense black and white woodcut tones that a designer could use for lunar diagrams, celestial charts, or early scientific tables.
