Sophia, das ist die holdseelige ewige Jungfrau der göttlichen Weisheit oder wunderbahre geistliche Entdeck- und Offenbahrungen so die theure Weisheit einer heiligen Seele gegeben ...
Sophia, a 1699 German mystical treatise by John Pordage, held in the C.G. Jung library, printed for devotional readers interested in divine wisdom. Its woodcut pictures are small decorative pieces: a bundle of spiky leaves, a flower basket, a winged cherub head, and an initial letter ringed with foliage, all in dense hatched line that suits engraved ornament and header work.
