Mirifici logarithmorum canonis descriptio, ejusque usus, in utraque trigonometria; ut etiam in omni logistica mathematica, amplissimi, facillimi, & expeditissimi explicatio
John Napier's 1614 Latin treatise on logarithms, printed in Edinburgh by Andrew Hart, written for mathematicians and students of trigonometry. Its pictures are small diagrams of spherical triangles with labelled vertices and parts, plus a decorative title page with a bordered framed title block and a repeating ornamental strip. A designer might take the strict typographic title page layout and the ornamental border strip as models for classical, scholarly framing.
