A 1654 Italian devotional book printed in Padua by Paolo Frambotti, recounting the miracles of Saint Anthony of Padua before and after his death for lay and clerical readers. Its small black-and-white engravings, framed with Italian captions beneath, show miracle scenes in simple rural and town settings, with figures in cloaks and habits gesturing in dramatic poses; a designer could draw on their clear staging of gesture, crowds and landscape backdrops.
