Wunder-Buch von der göttlichen Magie.
A German reprint of Johannes Trithemius's 1506 treatise on divine magic, issued by a Stuttgart publisher in the nineteenth century for readers of occult works. The picture is a page of magic-square and sigil diagrams: a circled letter T, Hebrew letters arranged in a cluster, a triangle enclosing a planetary glyph labelled Martin, and a grid of letters reading MMATON. For a designer, the appeal is the rigid geometric layout of ruled boxes, circles and triangles, set against the cramped letterforms of old German print.
