Prodigiorvm ac ostentorvm chronicon : quae praeter naturae ordinem, motum, et operationem, et in svperioribus & his inferioribus mundi regionibus, ab exordio mundi usque ad haec nostra tempora, acciderunt ...
Prodigiorvm ac ostentorvm chronicon is a 1557 Latin compendium of omens, portents and marvels compiled by Conrad Lycosthenes and printed in Basel by Henricus Petri for scholarly readers. Its woodcut pages show strange skies, burning fire, looming clouds and monstrous figures in rough, dense line work, with cloud and landscape patterns a designer could adapt for atmospheric or grim illustration.
