A list of interesting things from Luborsky & Ingram pt. 1

As I start, I should note that my general reading procedure is to first read Luborsky & Ingram's description, and in the event that a description sounds provocative, I'll look-up the document on EEBO or the ESTC. I'll subsequently reproduce the reference from Ingram & Luborsky's Guide to Illustrated Books, followed by one or two links, its proximity to me, and a sentence about my interest.

152     Adrichem, Christiaan van. A briefe description of Hierusalem. Also a mappe. Tr. out of Latin by T. Tymme. 4o. P. Short for T. Wight, 1595. M. ...(lacks map).
ESTC link. At Oxford.
I'm interested in this because of the influence of the map, its revision of "Romish" sites, and the techniques used to key image to text.

185.5     Aesop. [Anr. ed. of STC 185: The morall fabillis of Esope in Scottis meter, be maister R. Henrisone.] 8o. Edinburg, T. T. Bassadyne, 1571. E.
EEBO link. ESTC link. Not at Oxford.
The cover image seems especially complex (relative to STC 187), and I might gather information about the Edinburgh press.

331     Alexander [Farnese], Prince of Parma. The besieging of Berghen vppon Zoom by the prince of Parma in September and October last 1588. s.sh.fol. Middelborough, R. Schilders, [1588?] C. ...
 ESTC link. EEBO link. Not at Oxford.
L&I describe this as having an elaborate method of keying text to image.

398.3     Almanak & prognostication of the yeare of our our Lord Mv. .xlix. s.sh.fol. [1549] NEK(imp.)
ESTC link. Not at Oxford.
Like other almanacks, this depicts the zodiac man, and may possibly be related to Spenser.

406.3     A., J. A perfyte pronostycacion perpetuall. (An almanacke for .xv. yeares.) 8o. (R. wyer.) [1556?] L. Bos.clxviii. ...
ESTC link. EEBO link. At British Library.
This almanack conclutes with serial images from woodcuts.

417     Bourne, William. An almanacke and prognostication for three yeares [1571-73] newlye added vnto rulles of nauigation printed iiij yeres past. 8o. T. Purfoot, (1567.) O5. Bos.clxxvi.
ESTC link. EEBO link. At Oxford.
I'm interested in the combination of volvelles and image-texts, especially in the context of a sailing manual.

432     Cunningham, William. 1558. 2 pts. 8o. J. Daye. ILL. ...
ESTC link. EEBO link. Not at Oxford.
I'm interested in the animation and gestural narrative of the engraved gods.  I'm also interested in the reuses.
Reuses: 14075 , 14075.5 , 14076 , 1407
435.35     Digges, Leonard, the Elder. A prognostication of right good effect, fructfully augmented. 4o. T. Gemini. 1555. HN. Bos.clxvi. ...
ESTC link. EEBO link. At Oxford.
I'm interested in the combination of prognostication, sailing guides, astronomy, and various print instruments.
  • Reuses: 6849.8 , 6850.3 , 6850.5 , 6850.6 , 6275 , 6850.7 , 6851 , 6276 , 6851.2 , 5160
