A Latin funerary emblem book issued by the Jesuit archducal college at Passau in 1633, printed by C. Frosch with plates by Philipp Sadeler, commemorating Archduke Leopold of Austria and Emperor Ferdinand II for a clerical and courtly readership. The index holds decorated woodcut initials whose letters sit in square frames of hatched foliate scrollwork, with strips of repeating cast type ornament above them, usable as drop caps, rules and border tiles.
