A 1597 Latin book of papal biographies printed in Liège, compiled from Platina's history and Onuphrius Panvinius's revision, with portraits of popes cut by Jan van Glen for a general readership. Its pictures are small framed woodcut busts in profile and three-quarter view, with flat cross-hatched shading, shields, papal keys and tiaras, and clerical robes, offering a designer a consistent model for compact portrait medallions and heraldic detailing.
