Tychonis Brahe Dani Epistolarvm astronomicarvm libri.
A collection of Tycho Brahe's astronomical correspondence with Landgrave Wilhelm IV of Hesse, printed in 1596 on Brahe's own press at Uraniborg on Hven for scholars and royal patrons across Europe. Plates include a hand-coloured author portrait framed by an arch of ancestral coats of arms, and woodcut allegorical figures with mottoes such as SUSPICIENDO, useful for heraldic grids, architectural frames and emblematic bodies.
