A 1621 Roman history of the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, compiled by Paolo De Angelis and printed by Bartholomaeus Zannetti in Rome for readers interested in the church's architecture and history. Its pictures are repeated woodcut-style printer's ornaments, each a symmetrical cartouche of scrolls, winged putti, hanging fruit swags and a small temple framed in a niche, which a designer could borrow for classical border or emblem work.
