Dionysius Lybicus poetae De situ habitabilis orbis
A Latin verse geography of the inhabited world by Dionysius Periegetes, printed in Venice in 1543 by Bartholomeus Imperator and his son-in-law Franciscus, edited by Simon Lemnius and issued for scholars and readers of classical geography. The pictures show a title page with a woodcut globe-and-armillary-sphere instrument beside a second circular map, and a printer's device of a heraldic shield with a chevron, set in a bold scrolled frame; a designer might borrow the crisp radial diagram layout and the ornamental shield cartouche.
