Miscellanea Spiritualia : or, Devout essaies
A 1648 London devotional collection of spiritual essays by Walter Montagu, printed for the booksellers W. Lee, D. Pakeman and G. Bedell, aimed at pious readers of Christian life and Puritan themes. Its five pictures are small woodcut initials and ornaments: a crowned figure flanking a letter T, two birds with a letter W, a decorative A built from foliage, and a grotesque mask in a scrolled cartouche, offering a designer compact historical models for initial letters, framed capitals and symmetrical borders.
