Prognosticon Theologicon, oder, Theologische Weissagung vom jüngsten Tage : darinnen mancherley schöne, liebliche vnd anmutige Fragen, von den letzten Händeln dieser Welt werden erörtert, was von der Computation der Rosen-Creutzer vñ M. Pauli Nagelii Prognostico astrologo-cabalistico zu halten sey, besonders vom tertio Seculo, dass Christus Anno 1623 soll wieder kommen ...
A German Lutheran polemic of 1621, printed at Rostock by Jochim Fuss, in which Georg Rost disputes Rosicrucian reckonings and Paul Nagel's astrological-cabalistic prophecy that Christ would return in 1623, written for theologians and learned readers of the Reformation controversy. The illustrations are typographic ornament rather than scenes: woodcut initials filled with looping interlaced scrollwork and a triangular tailpiece of symmetrical foliate curls, useful as drop caps, section breaks and page-end devices with visible ink spread and toned paper.
