Apocalypsis insignium aliquot haeresiarcharum : qua visiones & insomnia ipsis per somnia patefactae, blasphemias puta inauditas, ac deliramenta enthysiastica revelantur, unaq́ue opera vitae ac mortes coelo latino donantur : superadditae septendecim eorum, qui insigni supra reliquos temeritate ac depudendi audacia eminere visi, icones aereis expressae
Apocalypsis insignium aliquot haeresiarcharum is a 1608 Leiden book printed by Henrik van Haestens, compiled by Christoffel van Sichem and drawing on Heinrich Aldegrever, presenting dreams and visions of notable heretical leaders for a learned Latin readership. Its pages are framed oval portrait engravings of sixteenth-century Anabaptist and reformer figures, each with a name band, a rhyming caption and a block of Latin text, all set in crisp, dense line work that a designer could borrow for ornamental cartouches and period lettering.
