Selectarum epistolarum ex India libri quatuor.
Selectarum epistolarum ex India libri quatuor is a Latin collection of letters on Jesuit missions in India and Brazil, compiled by Giovanni Pietro Maffei and printed in Venice in 1588 by the Zenarij workshop for a clerical and scholarly readership. Its pictures are small woodcut printer's ornaments: strapwork friezes with winged figures and scrolls, a cartouche enclosing a rampant lion, and interlaced foliate scrollwork, useful to a designer for decorative borders, headpieces and period ornament.
