Utriusque cosmi maioris scilicet et minoris metaphysica, physica atque technica historia : in duo volumnina secundum cosmi differentiam diuisa

Fludd, Robert, 1574-1637 author · 1617 · Oppenhemii : aere Johan-Theodori de Bry, typis Hieronymi Galleri · 31 pictures

Robert Fludd's 1617 encyclopedia of cosmology, metaphysics, and technical arts, printed at Oppenheim by Johann Theodor de Bry and Hieronymus Galler, covers geometry, arithmetic, music, astrology and military engineering for a learned readership. Its plates are engraved diagrams: a cross-shaped geometric figure with hatched shading, cylinders and a tower on numbered grids, a cutaway block with numbered faces, and a star-shaped fortress plan with bastions and moats, useful for schematic linework and layered tonal hatching.
