Conuersam, e lagrimas da gloriosa Sancta Maria Magdalena, & outras obras espirituaes
A Portuguese devotional book printed in Lisbon in 1615 by Vicente Alvares, written by Diogo Mendes Quintella on Saint Mary Magdalene and other spiritual works. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initials in black on cream, with leafy scrollwork, interlace, and foliage filling square frames, offering a designer examples of early seventeenth-century letter ornament that could be adapted for a drop cap or monogram.
