Lipsius, Justus, 1547-1606 · 1640 · Brunsuigae [Braunschweig] : Typis Andreae Dunckeri, impensis Godfridi Müllers · 11 pictures

Justus Lipsius's 1640 Latin treatise on the cross, printed at Braunschweig for the scholarly and clerical readership of its day, collects three books on the form and history of the cross with notes and appendices. Its pictures are small black-and-white copper-engraved views of crosses and crucifixions, with stiff, anatomically rounded figures set against simple landscapes, useful to a designer for their compact framing, hatched shading and the variety of cross forms shown.
