Symbolica vitae Christi meditatio
Symbolica vitae Christi meditatio is a 1612 devotional book printed at Brunsbergae by G. Schönfeld, written by Thomas Treter for Jesuit-style meditation on the life of Christ. Its emblem plates pair Latin mottoes with engraved crosses, a candle, a compass-like cross diagram and an eagle over its nest, all set against plain printed pages. A designer could take from them the compact emblem format of a framed motto above a single symbolic image, with dense radiating rays and ribbon scrolls that work well for heraldic-style badges.
