Sphaera mundi, siue cosmographia quinque libris : recèns auctis [et] eme[n]datis absoluta : in qua tum prima astronomiæ pars, tum geographi[a]e, ac hydrographi[a]e rudimenta pertracta[n]tur.
This is a 1552 Paris cosmography treatise by Oronce Fine, written for students of astronomy, geography and navigation, and printed by Michael Vascosan. Its pictures are geometric diagrams of the celestial sphere: circles with labelled points, tropics, horizon lines and numbered hour arcs drawn in crisp black line on plain white. A designer could borrow their clean compass-and-ruler diagram language for scientific infographics, dial layouts or minimalist line graphics.
