Epistolae Indicae de praeclaris, et stupendis rebus, : quas diuina bonitas in India, & variis insulis per Societatem nominis Iesu operari dignata est, in tam copiosa gentium ad fidem conuersione.
A Latin collection of letters from Jesuit missionaries describing conversions in India and surrounding islands, printed at Louvain in 1566 by Rutger Velpius for a Catholic readership. The first picture is a coat of arms with a scroll bearing the motto Gaudeo, and the second is a historiated initial G with a seated figure, both showing the ornamental woodcut vocabulary of sixteenth-century devotional printing that a designer could borrow for heraldic or lettering layouts.
