Vita Christi is a devotional life of Christ, attributed to Saint Bonaventure and translated into English by Nicholas Love, printed in London in 1530 by Wynkyn de Worde for lay readers. Its woodcut pictures show scenes from the Gospel narrative in a medieval manner, with robed figures, simple architectural settings, and bold black-line outlines that a designer could draw on for stark, narrative panel compositions.
