Illustrium scriptorum religionis Societatis Iesu catalogus:
A 1609 Latin catalogue of writers of the Society of Jesus, compiled by Pedro de Ribadeneyra and Philippe Alegambe and printed at Lyon by Jean Pillehotte for a clerical and scholarly readership. The picture is a decorative printer's ornament: a central monogram of the Jesus name with a cross, flanked by symmetrical scrolling foliage, winged cherub-like figures and acanthus-style curls, a pattern a designer could adapt for symmetrical headers, borders or emblematic seals.
