Discursos varios politicos por Manoel Severim de Faria chantre, & conego na Santa Sê de Euora.
A 1624 Portuguese collection of political discourses by Manoel Severim de Faria, a canon of the cathedral of Évora, printed there by Manoel Carvalho for a scholarly and learned readership. The pictures are engraved portrait medallions of historians and poets, with the first showing a bearded man in a ruff holding a book and the second a laurel-crowned poet beside a heraldic crest inside an ornamental border, set in the style of 17th-century Iberian print; a designer might draw on their formal oval-and-frame layouts and fine cross-hatched engraving.
