Speculum, & [Et] Exemplar Christicolarum: Vita Beatissimi Patris Benedicti Monacho[rum] Patriarch[a]e Sanctissimi

Sangrinus, Angelus · 1587 · 105 pictures

This is a 1587 illustrated life of Saint Benedict, the patriarch of monks, compiled by Angelus Sangrinus and aimed at Christian readers and monastic communities. Its engravings are small, dense black-and-white scenes with Latin verse captions beneath, each packed with architecture, figures in robes, and miraculous incidents a designer could adapt for narrative panels.
