A 1653 Latin cosmography by the Jesuit astronomer Giuseppe Biancani, printed at Modena (Mutinae) for scholars and students of mathematics, presenting the structure of the cosmos with diagrams of Tycho, Kepler and Galileo's discoveries. Its pictures are geometric diagrams of concentric circles, orbits, sightlines and labelled points drawn in simple black line, offering a designer clean, schematic arrangements of rings, radiating lines and letter labels.
