De Ioannis Calvini, magni quondam Geneuensium ministri, vita, moribus, rebus gestis, studijs, ac denique morte historia.
A Latin biography of the Genevan reformer John Calvin, published in Cologne in 1580 by Ludwig Alectorius and the heirs of Jacob Soter and written by the former Carmelite Jérôme-Hermès Bolsec as a hostile account. Its pictures are small woodcut and engraved portraits in oval frames, with one ornate cartouche and a decorative roundel, offering a designer models of sixteenth-century portrait framing and lettering.
