Statvta Hospitalis Hiervsalem
Statvta Hospitalis Hiervsalem is a 1588 rule book of the Knights of Malta, printed in Rome with no named printer, and issued for the members of that religious military order. Its engraved plates show a formal court scene, a hospital procession, a street of soldiers and clergy, and oval portrait medallions of Hospitaller figures, with title cartouches framed in ornamental borders that a designer could adapt for classical headers.
