Dvodecim specvla Devm aliqvando videre desideranti concinnata
Dvodecim specvla is a 1610 Latin devotional book by Jan David, with engravings by Théodore Galle, printed at Antwerp by the Plantin office for a Catholic readership seeking to see God. Its plates are dense, emblematic engravings with lettered keys, figures in kneeling or gathered groups, and symbolic objects such as a mirror-like framed medallion, a sunburst, and a winged dove, offering a designer ideas for allegorical, layered compositions with labelled diagrams.
