Vida, hechos, y doctrina del venerable hermano Alonso Rodriguez, religioso de la Compañia de Iesus.

Colín, Francisco, 1592-1660 · 1652 · En Madrid, : por Domingo Garcia y Morras. · 4 pictures

A 1652 Spanish devotional biography printed in Madrid by Domingo Garcia y Morras, recounting the life and teachings of the Jesuit lay brother Alonso Rodriguez, written by Francisco Colin for a religious readership. Its four pictures are small woodcut ornaments: three show a female face framed by a radiate halo and a pair of flower-filled cornucopias with leafy scrolls, and one shows a horizontal band of foliate scrolls with rosettes. A designer might borrow the symmetrical cornucopia framing or the scrolling border as decorative devices.

Rodríguez, Alonso, 1538-1616
