De aeternitate considerationes coram Ser.mo vtriusque Bavariae Duce, S.R.I. Archidapifero, Electore, Maximiliano et Ser.ma Coninge Elisabetha explicatae:

Drexel, Jeremias, 1581-1638 · 1634 · Coloniae Agrippinae, Sumptibus Cornelii ab Egmondt et Sociorum · 20 pictures

A Latin devotional treatise on eternity by the Jesuit preacher Jeremias Drexel, printed in Cologne in 1634 and dedicated to the Bavarian duke Maximilian and his duchess Elisabeth. Its pictures are small woodcut emblems: a draped cloth held by two winged figures above a bearded face, and a flaming heart stamped with the letters IHS and a cross, both framed by radiating rays that suggest a symbolic device a designer could adapt for a crest or badge.
