Virorum illustrium ex ordine eremitarum D. Augustini elogia : cum singulorvm expressis ad viuum iconibus
A 1636 Antwerp book of engraved portrait medallions of illustrious Augustinian hermits, with Latin biographical captions, made by engravers Corneille de Corte and Cornelis Galle for a religious readership. The pictures are bust-length oval portraits of bearded friars in dark hooded habits, set in ornate cartouche frames with scrollwork, cherubs and shell crests that a designer could borrow for decorative framing.
