Septimana philosophica : qua aenigmata avreola de omni natvrae genere a Salomone Israëlitarum sapientissimo rege, & Arabiae regina Saba, nec non Hyramo, Tyri principe, sibi inuicem in modum colloquii proponuntur & enodantur ...
Septimana philosophica is a 1620 Latin alchemical and natural-philosophy treatise by Michael Maier, printed at Frankfurt by Hartmann Palthenius and sold by Lucas Jennis, framing riddles exchanged by Solomon, the Queen of Sheba and Hiram. The pictures are small woodcut roundels, an ornate initial Q, a grotesque mask cartouche and a foliate strapwork border, offering a designer dense period ornament, emblematic framing devices and scaled decorative bands for borders and capitals.
