Lux evangelica is a 1654 Latin devotional work of Sunday meditations for the church year, printed in Antwerp by the widow and heirs of Ioannis Cnobbarus and compiled by several Jesuit-era authors including Engelgrave and Snyers. The pictures are repeated printed headpieces: a central oval cartouche with the IHS monogram and cross, flanked by winged putti, scrolling foliage and a grotesque mask at the base, all in dense black woodcut-style line work that a designer could adapt for ornamental borders, cartouches or frame devices.
