Collectio canonum (Isidorus Mercator (Ps.))
The Van de Graaf canon represents a historical method likely used in book design to divide a page into pleasing proportions. Known as the "secret canon", it was used in numerous medieval manuscripts and incunabula. The geometrical solution of this canon works for any page width-to-height ratio & enables a book designer to position type in specific areas of a page as shown in an overlay of this 15th century manuscript.
