Fortezza reale del cuore humano : battuta soauemente, saettata amorosamente, superata gloriosamente, e posseduta & ornata gratiosamente dall' amoroso Giesù : disegnata in figure con alcune brieui ma affettuose meditationi et altri tanti soliloquij
A devotional emblem book printed in Modena in 1628 by Alberto Ronco, with engravings after Antonie Wierix, meant for readers of Italian religious meditation on the human heart and the love of Jesus. Its pictures are decorated initial letters, each framing a small scene of dense woodcut-style foliage, grotesques, and animals, which a designer could take as models for ornamental capitals and border work.
