La cosmographia de Pedro Apiano is a 1575 Spanish-language cosmography printed in Antwerp by Juan Bellero, a translation of Peter Apian's work with additions by Gemma Frisius, López de Gómara and Girava for Spanish-reading students of astronomy and geography. Its pictures are crisp black-and-white woodcut diagrams of spheres, lunar phases and celestial circles, with ruled borders and printed captions that a designer could take as clean, geometric line work for maps, orbit diagrams and classic scientific charts.
