Beiträge zur Geschichte der Wissenschaften in der Mark Brandenburg : von den ältesten Zeiten an bis zu Ende des sechszehnten Jahrhunderts / herausgegeben von J.C.W. Moehsen.
A German antiquarian history of science published in Berlin and Leipzig in 1783, edited by Johann Carl Wilhelm Moehsen, tracing alchemy and medicine in the Mark Brandenburg up to the sixteenth century. The pictures are small etched plates of numbered circular emblems, alchemical symbols, seals and a numerical grid, drawn in a dense early-modern engraving style. A designer could draw on their geometric medallion layouts, astrological sun and moon motifs, and compact tabular diagrams for a hermetic or mystical theme.
