Exercitia spiritualia S. Ignatij Loyolae, Societatis Iesu fundatoris : cum breui instructione meditandi ex ipsismet exercitijs deprompta : et breue sanctissimi D.N. Alexandri VII de indulgentia plenaria pro ijs, qui exercentur
A 1663 Roman printing of Saint Ignatius of Loyola's Spiritual Exercises, produced by the Varese printing house for Jesuit retreatants and devotional readers. Its engraved plates are framed with Latin captions and show religious scenes: a crucifix held aloft, saints in prayer, angels in clouds, and a flaming, dramatic sky, offering a designer baroque compositional drama, dense cloud and light patterns, and text-and-image layouts.
