Annus secularis Societatis Iesu, adumbratus ex anno temporali a Gymnasio Tricoronato Vbiorum : anno confirmatae Societatis centesimo, salutis humanae MDCXL
A Latin Jesuit commemorative book printed in Cologne in 1640 by Johann Eckhard and Johann Heinrich Löffler for the Dreikönigsgymnasium, marking the Society of Jesus's first hundred years. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initials and cartouches, one a large S woven with scrolls and foliage, another a grotesque mask in ornate scrollwork, and they suggest how dense printed letterforms and ornament can frame a text block.
