One book: "Ragioni di Copernico". A set of 29 engraved plates that were originally published in 1693 as part of Epitome Cosmografica by Vincenzo Coronelli (1650-1718). They are bound in a different order from original work, some upside down. It is possible these were cut from a separate sheet and never bound with text. The engravings depict different cosmological concepts, globes and the names of the winds used in different countries.
