A Latin emblem book on the cross, patience and holy dying by the Jesuit Pedro de Bivero, printed in 1634 at the Plantin press of Balthasar Moretus in Antwerp for devotional and meditative readers. The plates here are small woodcut initials: letters wrapped in foliage, tulip-filled baskets, dolphins and urns, plus figural capitals with seated men, swords and landscapes, usable as decorative drop caps and ornament motifs.
