A 1518 Latin geography text by Pomponius Mela with commentary by the Swiss humanist Joachim Vadian, printed in Vienna at the expense of the Viennese bookseller Lucas Alantse. The pictures are woodcut borders of mythological and allegorical figures, an armorial bookplate with griffins and a tree, and a title page framed by small scenes, offering designers a dense Renaissance woodcut vocabulary of ornament, heraldry and framing devices.
