Nauigationis maris arctoi, id est, Balthici, & sinus codani, descriptio.
A 1550 Latin navigation treatise by Nicolaus Wimmannus, printed in Basel by Thomas Guarin, describing the northern and Baltic seas for scholars and sailors. Its pictures are small woodcut devices: a stylised palm tree in a cartouche, a decorated initial with a figure, and a later bibliographic vignette of a tree beside a well; a designer might borrow the cartouche framing and the compact, hand-cut ornament of the early devices.
