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 · 21 pictures

This is a 1617 Latin treatise by the English physician Robert Fludd, printed at Oppenheim by Johann Theodor de Bry and Hieronymus Galler, covering cosmology, geometry, music, astrology and technical arts for a learned scholarly readership. Its pictures are small black woodcut-style printed images: a symmetrical heart-shaped ornamental panel of scrolls, masks and foliage repeated across the pages, and a plain outlined figure of a man with arms outstretched inside a square with diagonals, useful for designers studying symmetrical ornament and early diagrammatic layout.
