De freqventi commvnione liber, in qvo ss. patrvm, pontificvm, et conciliorvm de poenitentiae atqve Eucharistiae sacramentorum vsu sententiae summa fide proferuntur, vt pro norma omnibus esse possint ..
A Latin theological treatise on frequent communion and penance by Antoine Arnauld, printed in Paris in 1647 by Antonius Vitré for clerical and devout readers of the Eucharist debate. Its pictures are small woodcut devices: a heart with a radiating sun-burst halo bearing a cross and emblematic figures, a winged cherub head with swags, and an oval portrait of a veiled woman in a decorative frame. A designer could take the heart-and-rays emblem and the cherub ornament as compact models for devotional badges, seals, or headpieces.
