Imagines sanctorum ord. S. Benedicti : tabellis aereis expressae cum eulogiis ex eorumdem vitis

Stengel, Karl, 1581-1663, Kilian, Wolfgang, 1581-1662, Mannasser, Daniel, d. 1637, Manasser, Johan Georg, 17th cent · 1625 · [Augsburg : s.n.] · 92 pictures

A 1625 Augsburg collection of engraved portrait plates of Benedictine saints, compiled by Karl Stengel with engravings by Wolfgang Kilian and others, for members of the Benedictine order. The plates show saints receiving visions of Christ, the Virgin and angels, and a designer might take from them the dense crosshatched engraving, cloud-borne heavenly figures, and framed devotional tableaux with Latin captions.
