Societas Jesu usque ad sanguinis et vitae profusionem militans, in Europa, Africa, Asia, et America, contra gentiles, Mahometanos, Judaeos, Haereticos, impios, pro Deo, fide, ecclesia, pietate. : Sive Vita, et mors eorum, qui ex Societate Jesu in causa fidei, & virtutis propugnatae, violentâ morte toto orbe sublati sunt.
A 1675 Latin martyrology published in Prague by Mathias Tanner, recording Jesuits killed for the faith across Europe, Africa, Asia and America, aimed at a Jesuit and Catholic readership. Its engravings show scenes of execution and torture in a dense, hatched baroque line style, with robed figures, swords, fire and trees that a designer could draw on for period-styled narrative compositions with strong figure grouping and dramatic gesture.
