Ptolemævs parvvs in genethliacis junctus Arabibus / Avctore Andrea Argolo.

Andrea Argoli · 1654 · Lvgdvni : Sumptibus Iosephi & Petri Vilort, 1654. · 3 pictures

Ptolemaeus parvus, an astrological treatise by Andrea Argoli, printed at Lyon in 1654 for astrologers and students of genethlialogy. Its pages are dense tables of planetary and zodiac signs in ruled columns, with a list of place names in a Latin typeface; a designer might take the strict grid structure and the quirky symbol set as a model for information layouts or icon systems.
