Engelgrave, Henricus, 1610?-1670, Busäus, Johann, fl. 1653-1672 · 1659 · Coloniae : Apud Joannem Busaeum ... · 79 pictures

A Latin devotional emblem book by Henricus Engelgrave, published in Cologne in 1659 by Johann Busäus, for meditation on saints' feasts across the church year. Each plate is an engraved oval vignette set in a rococo-scrolled cartouche, and the pictures show scenes of saints' stories, miracles and allegorical figures that a designer could borrow for framing, border and emblematic motifs.
