Chronica da Companhia de Iesu, na provincia de Portugal; : e do que fizeram, nas conquistas d'este reyno, os religiosos, que na mesma provincia entràram, nos annos em que viveo S. Ignacio de Loyola, nosso fundador.
A 1645 Jesuit chronicle of the Portuguese province by Balthazar Telles, printed in Lisbon by Paulo Craesbeeck for a religious and lay readership. Its title page is a dense engraved architectural frame with a robed allegorical female figure, flanking portrait medallions, putti holding shields, and a scrolled cartouche, offering designers baroque framing and ornament ideas. A separate woodcut of a flower-filled urn with stylised rosettes and swags shows a compact, graphic vocabulary for decorative borders and vignettes.
