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 1618 Antwerp devotional emblem book by Jan David, a Jesuit, with engravings by Théodore Galle printed at the Plantin press for a Catholic readership of meditation on Christ's Passion and the Virgin Mary. Each plate pairs a winged angel or allegorical figure in a framed arch with small lettered scenes around the margins, arranged like a narrative diagram a designer could adapt for layered compositions.
