Amati, Scipione, Handschel, Tobias, Fricius, Valentinus. Indianischer Religionstandt der gantzen Newen Welt · 1617 · Getruckt zu Ingolstatt : In der Ederischen Truckerey, bey Elisabeth Angermayrin, Wittib. · 3 pictures

A 1617 German account printed at Ingolstadt by the Ederische press, reporting on Franciscan missionary work and diplomatic embassies from Japan to Rome and Spain, written for a Catholic readership. The pictures are letterpress details: a black-letter title line beneath a woodcut scene of figures in an ornamental border, a blackletter author name and attribution, and a decorative woodcut ornament with a central mask flanked by scrolling foliage, useful for designers seeking early German typographic display and border ornament.
