A 1613 Latin catalogue of Italian saints arranged by the twelve months, published in Milan by Hieronymus Bordonius and written by Philippus Ferrarius for a learned Catholic readership. Its three pictures are decorative woodcut initial letters, a leafy square E-initial, a shield-shaped E framed by scrolling foliage, and an ornate I with acanthus-like tendrils, all useful for designers seeking historic lettering and border ornament.
