Hendschel, Tobias, Gonzaga, Francesco, d. 1620. De origine seraphicae religionis franciscanae · 1617 · Anno Domini M.DC.XVII. Gedruckt zu Ingolstatt, : In der Ederischen Truckerey, bey Elisabeth Angermayrin, Wittib. · 2 pictures

A German-language Franciscan mission report printed at Ingolstadt in 1617 by the Ederische press under widow Elisabeth Angermayr, continuing an account of conversions in Japan and drawing on Francesco Gonzaga's history of the Franciscan order for a readership of clergy and devout lay readers. Its two pictures are small black-and-white woodcut ornaments: a dense symmetrical scrollwork panel with curling foliage and leaf-like shapes, and a horizontal strip of interlaced vines, flowers and birds above a blackletter heading, which a designer could draw on for border and header ornament.
