Jo. Jac. Chiffletii De linteis sepulchralibus Christi Servatoris crisis historica
A 1688 Latin scholarly treatise by Jean-Jacques Chifflet on the burial linens of Christ, printed in Antwerp by the Plantin press from a 1624 edition, written for theologians, antiquaries and collectors of relics. Its pictures are engraved plates and decorative woodcut-style devices: a framed saintly figure group, a foliate ornament with a face, a historiated initial, and a pair of seal-like medallions with a kneeling figure and a portrait bust, offering designers classical scrollwork, seal lettering and framed devotional composition.
