Sometimes when you prospect for information (aka data mining) you hunt and hunt and turn up nothing but empty. Other days you are practically drowning in new discoveries and can barely handle everything.
Today is a "barely keeping my head above water" sort of day, here are the gems.
First, A Atlas, dated middle 16th century, WDB,
Cod.Guelf. 4.1 Aug. 4° (Battista Agnese, Portulanatlas, Mitte 16. Jh.)

Then this very odd box, also from the WDB
Cod.Guelf. 90 Aug. 8° (A. Kircher, Arca musurgica)
http://diglib.hab.de/?objekte=90-aug-8f
Its a wooden box, with wooden sticks, with writing on them, that have to do with music, as the box has musical scales on the sides for four parts. Its dated to the 17th century.
This book is a "Varia" Book, dated 15th century. Its got some really interesting writings having to do with musical composition on page 33. In the 40 page range, it looks like class notes or similar and has diagrams about the music notation in use at the time.
82.6 Quod. (8a) = Heinemann Nr. 4045 (varia de poesi, musica, astronomia, 15. Jh.)
