A 1548 Latin geography printed at Zurich by Joachim Vadianus, a compendium of the lands named in the Bible, meant for pious readers tracing places in the New Testament. The pictures are small woodcut maps of Italy, Iberia, Gaul and the Mediterranean, with dense hand-lettered place names, ruled coastlines and hatched sea surfaces, useful to a designer for antique cartographic texture and lettering.
