Apocalypsis insignium aliquot haeresiarcharum is a 1608 Leiden book printed by Henrik van Haestens, compiled by Christoffel van Sichem and drawing on Heinrich Aldegrever, presenting dreams and visions of notable heretical leaders for a learned Latin readership. Its pages are framed oval portrait engravings of sixteenth-century Anabaptist and reformer figures, each with a name band, a rhyming caption and a block of Latin text, all set in crisp, dense line work that a designer could borrow for ornamental cartouches and period lettering.
