Teatro serafico delle stimmate di Christo, impresse nel santo, immaculato, e virginal corpo del glorioso padre san Francesco

Salvatore Vitale, O. F. M., 1581-1647, Parigi, Alfonso, -1656 · 1629 · In Firenze : Per Zanobi Pignoni · 18 pictures

A 1629 Florentine devotional book, printed in Florence by Zanobi Pignoni and written by the Franciscan friar Salvatore Vitale, meant for readers of Saint Francis and the stigmata. Its pictures are small black-and-white engravings and ornamental woodcut headpieces; the engraved cross with rays, arms and banner, and the wounded foot, show how religious imagery was built from radiating light, scrolled frames, and precise anatomical detail.
