Frontispiece to 1744 and later editions of Giambattista Vico's The New Science. "Just as Cebes the Theban once made a Tablet of things moral, so I present here a Tableau of civil institutions. Before reading my work, you may use this tableau to form an idea of my New Science. And after reading it, you will find that this tableau aids your imagination in retaining my work in your memory." (Trans. David Marsh)
