A 1622 Italian festival account printed in Milan by Pandolfo Malatesta and Giovanni Battista Piccaglia, describing celebrations for the canonization of saints Ignatius of Loyola and Francis Xavier, aimed at a Milanese and Jesuit readership. Its two pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a central IHS monogram emblem framed by scrolls and rays, and a historiated initial G with a cherub, useful for designers seeking devotional border and capital-letter motifs.
