This woodcut shows an armillary sphere flanked by Astrologia, who guides a seated reader to the authority of Ptolemy, represented here with an astrolabe. On the table at the foot of the armillary sphere are: a set square, a pair of compasses, an ink pot and a book. It is framed by the phrase 'Altior incubuit animus sub imagine mundi<\/i>' ('The higher mind ponders under the image of the World'), which was later adopted by Oronce Fine.<\/p>" }, { "label": "Date of Creation", "value": "1515" }, { "label": "Title", "value": "Personification of Astronomy, with large armillary sphere" }, { "label": "Material", "value": "paper" }, { "label": "Classmark", "value": "Norton.b.14" }, { "label": "Note(s)", "value": "
