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
This is a 1628 Italian devotional book printed in Modena, written by Alberto Ronco with engravings after Antonie Wierix, aimed at lay readers meditating on Christ's love for the human heart. Its pictures are small woodcut-style decorative initials and a flowered strip ornament, with foliage, scrollwork, birds and vase motifs that a designer could borrow for borders, capitals and historical ornament.
