Theatrum gloriae sanctorum
Theatrum gloriae sanctorum is a 1696 devotional book on the saints and the church year, written by Casimir Füesslin and published in Sulzbach by Johann Christoph Lochner. Its pictures are small baroque engraved and woodcut headpieces: four framing cartouches with two seated female figures flanking an oval scene of a saint or angel, and a fifth showing a round temple in a landscape under a Latin inscription banner. A designer could draw on their symmetrical scrollwork, leafy volutes and oval medallion framing for ornamental borders.
