Recta intentio, omnium humanarum actionum amssis
Recta intentio is a Jesuit devotional treatise on Christian ethics and intention by Jeremias Drexel, printed in 1631 at Cologne under the Egmond imprint, aimed at a clerical and devout readership. Its engraved plates are emblematic: a figure of Christ in glory with rays and angels over kneeling worshippers, a woman with a flaming torch beside a burning vessel, and an allegorical title page with an all-seeing eye, cherubs and framed figures, plus a woodcut cartouche bearing the face of Christ, useful for designers seeking symbolic baroque devotional imagery with clear Latin mottoes.
