Vita del P. Francesco Borgia, che fu duca di Gandia, e poi religioso, e III. Generale della Compag. di Giesu.
A 1616 Italian biography of Francis Borgia, the Jesuit saint and former Duke of Gandia, written by Pedro de Ribadeneyra and printed in Rome by Bartholomeo Zannetti for a Catholic readership. The pictures are printed decorative ornaments: symmetrical cross-shaped and rectangular blocks of scrolls, foliage and cartouche corners in a dense black woodcut style, with a repeating tiled border a designer could adapt for frames, panels or pattern repeats.
