Images of the Intellectual Globe and the American Phrenological Journal

These fascinating images have long since fallen into the Public Domain.

This image dates to 1619. Here’s the reference:

Utriusque cosmi maioris scilicet et minoris […] historia, tomus II (1619), tractatus I, sectio I, liber X, De triplici animae in corpore visione

I believe “Mundus Intellectualis” translates to “Intellectual Globe,” e.g., a map of the intellect, or consciousness.
