The Figurae of Joachim of Fiore, Marjorie Reeves and Beatrice Hirsch-Reich's 1972 study and edition from Clarendon Press, examines the prophetic diagrams of the medieval abbot Joachim of Fiore. Its strength is that Reeves was the leading twentieth century scholar of Joachimist thought, and this is a rigorous academic edition rather than a popular account. Its limit is that it is now over fifty years old, and later scholarship has refined some of its readings of the figurae's manuscript transmission.
