  Orbis Sensualium Pictus, A World of Things Obvious to the Orbis Sensualium Pictus: HOC EST Omnium principalium in Mundo This text includes characters that require UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding: oe [oe ligature, used in all Latin text] If any of these characters do not display properly—in particular, if the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter—or if the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that the browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change your browser’s default font. The two sections numbered CIV use astrological symbols. Most are accompanied by a definition, so the meaning will be plain even if your browser cannot display them. When a symbol is used in place of a word, its meaning is shown in a popup: ☉. Typographical errors are shown in the text with mouse-hover popups. In the Orbis Pictus text, apparent errors in punctuation and typography (such as Italic type where Roman is expected) were unchanged except in chapter headers, where readers may need the exact format for text searches. Uncorrected errors are noted with popups. Note that “Dutch” generally means “German”. Line breaks are approximately but not exactly the same as in the original. Editor’s Preface (1887) |
