Rettung der Jesuiter Vnschuld wider die Gifftspinnen Lucam Osiander.

Scherer, Georg, 1539-1605 · 1586 · Gedruckt zu Jngolstadt, : Durch Dauid Sartorium. · 1 picture

A 1586 polemical work in German by Georg Scherer, printed at Ingolstadt by David Sartorius, defending the Jesuits against Lucas Osiander, and held by the John Carter Brown Library. The single picture is a printer's ornament: a symmetrical woodcut of a bearded grotesque mask framed by scrolls, a heart-shaped knot and curling tendrils, which suggests how a historical border or emblem can anchor a symmetrical layout.
