A 1505 Latin legal and hagiographical work printed in Pavia by Jacobus de Burgofranco, edited by Joannes Franciscus Picius and Paulus Morbius, offering saints' lives for readers of church history. Its pages repeat a woodcut of a mitred bishop holding a crozier and blessing, beside an ornate decorated initial letter at the start of each life, set in dense black-letter type with the first words of each text in large capitals.
