Lux evangelica sub velum sacrorum emblematum recondita in anni dominicas selecta historia & morali doctrina variè adumbrata
Lux evangelica is a 1655 emblem book of Sunday gospel meditations by the Jesuit Henricus Engelgrave, engraved by Jacob van Meurs and published in Cologne and Amsterdam for devotional readers. Its oval engraved plates sit inside ornate cartouche frames, showing trees, a still-life basket of fruit, and town houses with birds in the sky, a restrained vocabulary a designer could borrow for framing devices and botanical or architectural vignettes.
