Paradisus sponsi et sponsae in quo messis myrrhae et aromatum ex instrumentis ac mysterijs passionis Christi colligenda, vt ei commoriamur : et, Pancarpium Marianum, septemplici titulorum serie distinctum, vt in B. Virginis odorem curramus, et Christus formetur in nobis
A Latin devotional book printed in Antwerp in 1618 by the Plantin press, written by the Jesuit Jan David and engraved by Théodore Galle, meant for readers seeking meditation on Christ's Passion and the Virgin Mary. Its engravings are dense, framed plates where an angel stands in a central niche while lettered scenes unfold around it, each keyed by letters A to G for a designer to borrow from for layered, emblematic compositions.
