Eva, e Ave, ou, Maria triumphante : theatro da erudiçam, e philosophia Christ, em que se representão os dous estados do mundo : cahido em Eva, e levantado em Ave
A Portuguese Catholic devotional treatise by António de Sousa de Macedo, printed in Lisbon in 1700 by Miguel Deslandes for a Christian readership, contrasting the fall of man through Eva with redemption through Ave. The four woodcut ornaments here show a flower bouquet in a footed vase, a basket of flowers with fruit, a winged cherub head between scrolls, and a cherub face framed by garlands and tassels, offering a designer period floral and baroque ornament motifs for borders, vignettes, or headpieces.
