Tractatus qui de varietate astronomie intitulatur

Johannes, de Brugis, Martens, Thierry, 1450?-1534, printer · 1503 · [Antwerp : Thierry Martens] · 1 picture

A 1503 astronomy treatise by Johannes de Brugis, printed in Antwerp by Thierry Martens for scholars and students of the subject. Its single woodcut shows a seated figure beneath a large leafy tree with a robed companion at left, sheep or animals grazing on a hillside, and a domed building at right, giving a calm pastoral scene a designer could borrow for rustic, early-printed or scholarly motifs.
