Annales ecclesiastici is a 1623 church history abridged from Cesare Baronio's twelve-volume work, edited by Henry de Sponde and published in Mainz by Anton Hierat with engravings by Eberhard Kiefer. The pictures are woodcut printer's ornaments: strapwork headpieces, a scrolling tailpiece, a mask cartouche and a large decorated initial C framing a standing figure, all in dense cut-line detail a designer could adapt for historical borders or initials.
