Henrici Glareani, poetae laureati de geographia liber unus,

Glareanus, Henricus, 1488-1563 · 1528 · Basileae : Anno M.D.XXVIII. Excudebat Ioannes Faber Emmeus Iuliacensis · 7 pictures

This is a Latin geography textbook by the humanist poet Henricus Glareanus, printed in Basel in 1528 by Johannes Faber Emmeus for scholars and students. Its pages carry plain geometric diagrams of spheres, zones, and circles with lettered points, drawn in simple black line with no shading. A designer could take from them the clean, schematic logic of early modern scientific figures, with concentric rings, radiating divisions, and letter labels arranged around a centre.
