De vita Francisci Borgiæ Societatis Iesu praepositi generalis ab Ignatio tertij. libri quattuor.
A 1596 Latin biography of the Jesuit leader Francisco de Borja, written by Pedro de Ribadeneyra and printed in Rome by Aloisio Zanetti for a learned Catholic readership. Its pictures are small woodcut decorations: a square initial Q with a dense oval of interlace flanked by birds and scrolls, a historiated A framed by volutes with a face at its base, an E ornamented with a parrot and foliage, and a sunburst emblem reading IHS with cherubs and a scrolled cartouche, all useful for designers seeking compact early modern ornament and framing.
