1631 · Osnabrugianis typis : In officina episcopali Martini Mannij · 18 pictures

A 1631 Latin devotional book printed at Osnabrück by the episcopal press of Martin Mannius, dedicated to Bishop Franz Wilhelm von Wartenberg and written for church officials and the Jesuit-founded college of the diocese. Its pictures are engraved emblem pages, each a central oval scene ringed by a dense garland of small figures, cartouches, and coats of arms, with Latin mottoes and inscriptions along the borders, offering a designer a model for symmetrical, densely populated baroque frame composition.
