Sacra mystarum hebdomada, sive, Quotidiana pro sacerdotibus piè celebrandi : septenaria verò pro laicis, devotè communicandi formula, sacris, è litteris
A Latin devotional manual for Holy Week, printed in Augsburg in 1700 by Maria Magdalena Utzschneider and written for priests and lay communicants by Charles Servain and Johann Caspar Gutwein. The four pictures are small printed headpieces and tailpieces of symmetrical corner and centre ornaments, built from scrolling leaves, flowers and cross-hatched bands, which a designer could adapt as compact border or divider motifs for historical-style layouts.
