Cosmographia Petri Apiani
Peter Apian's cosmography, revised by Gemma Frisius and printed in Paris by Vivant Gaultherot in 1553, taught astronomy, geography and instrument use to university students. The woodcuts combine graduated circles, volvelles, zodiac and eclipse diagrams and small world maps with foliate initials, giving designers instrument dials, degree scales and vine-filled letters to lift.
