Lettere della Santa Madre Teresa di Giesu fondatrice delle monache, e padri Carmelitani Scalzi

Capece, Carlo Sigismondo, 1652-1722 · 1690 · In Venetia, M.DC.XC. : Presso Paolo Baglioni. · 17 pictures

A 1690 Venetian printed edition of letters by Saint Teresa of Avila, published by Paolo Baglioni and issued for Carmelite readers, with a text-based collection of devotional correspondence. The pictures are small printer's ornaments built around the IHS monogram: a central oval with a cross, radiating rays, and foliage or winged cherubs framing it, all in black woodcut-style line work that a designer could adapt for emblem-like headers, seals, or devotional borders.
