Garofani, Antonio Maria · 1593 · In Parma, Appresso Erasmo Viotto · 36 pictures

A devotional book of saints' lives compiled by Antonio Maria Garofani and printed in Parma in 1593 by Erasmo Viotto for readers of Christian hagiography. Its woodcut vignettes sit in ornate strapwork frames with grotesque masks and scrolls, showing scenes of miracles, martyrdom and lay devotion that a designer could draw on for decorative borders and framing devices.
