A 1682 Latin historical and philological compendium printed in Nuremberg by the Endter firm, gathering works by Marcus and Paulus Welser and later editors on Bavarian history, Augsburg affairs and sacred martyrdoms for scholars and antiquarians. Its woodcut pictures are decorative initials and ornamental headpieces: dense hatched strapwork, scrolling foliage and grotesque animal figures that a designer could borrow for borders, monograms and carved ornament.
