Brunner, Andreas, 1589-1650 · 1630 · Monachii, Apud C. Leÿsseriū · 291 pictures

A Latin devotional almanac by Andreas Brunner, printed in Munich in 1630, presenting saints' feast days across the calendar months for Catholic readers. Its pages show small oval engraved medallions, each framed by scrolled Latin banners and bearing a saint's name, with figures in simple hatched line. A designer could take the compact oval-in-scroll framing and the economical hatched-line engraving as a model for emblem-style vignettes.
