Some descriptions are accompanied by colored drawings of flowers. Includes descriptions and drawings of the Ptolemaic, Tychonic, and Copernican systems of the universe; a drawing of the earth showing the equator, the poles, and the frigid, torrid, and temperate zones; and a sketch of a boating scene.
