Medizinisch-astronomisch-astrologische Sammelhandschrift

1459 · 3 pictures

A 1459 German manuscript miscellany of medical, astronomical and astrological material, compiled and held by Heidelberg University Library, written for scholarly and practical use. Its pictures are hand-ruled concentric circular diagrams filled with dense red and black script and numerals, with a central coat of arms or emblem and small decorative finials, offering designers a strong radial layout and a sense of early wheel-chart geometry.
