Vita del P. Francesco Borgia, che fu duca di Gandia, e poi religioso, e terzo Generale della Compagnia di Giesu.
A 1600 Italian printed life of the Jesuit Francesco Borgia by Pedro de Ribadeneyra, published in Florence by Michelagnolo Sermartelli, aimed at devout readers of Tuscan-language Catholic biography. The three pictures are woodcut decorative initials and a printer's device: a figurative S with a seated figure, an R framed in curling foliage, and an IHS monogram with chalice and rays inside an oval. A designer could draw on the dense foliate lettering and the radiating sunburst frame for borders and monograms.
