Elementale cosmographicum is a 1551 Latin astronomy and geography textbook by Martin Borrhaus, printed in Paris by Guillaume Cavellat for students learning the basics of cosmography. Its pictures are small woodcut diagrams of armillary spheres, the celestial axis, and geometric star polygons, showing how circles and angles model the heavens, which a designer could adapt for minimalist celestial linework.
