Dies natalis serenissimi infantis et principis Boiorum, Maximiliana Emanuelis favoribus sanctorum, heroum crepundiis, et votis Patrum S.I. coronatus : in solemnibus baptismalibus
A Latin occasional emblem book issued by the Jesuit Collegium Societatis Jesu at Cologne in 1662 to mark the baptism of the Bavarian prince Maximilian II Emanuel, written for the electoral court and the order's own readers. The plates indexed here are square woodcut initial capitals, each letter set against dense foliate scrollwork with curled tendrils, small buds and diagonal hatching; usable as drop caps, ornament tiles, or sources for scroll motifs.
