Le recueil de gravures des Evangelicae historiae imagines paraît en 1593, puis deux ans plus tard, toujours à Anvers, accompagné d’un vaste ensemble de méditations rapportées à ces gravures et signées du nom de Hieronimus Natalis, mort quinze ans plus tôt et qui avait été l’un des plus proches collaborateurs d’Ignace de Loyola, fondateur de la Compagnie de Jésus en 1540.

Magnificence in the Seventeenth Century Performing Splendour in Catholic and Protestant Contexts
"A multidisciplinary international group of leading scholars study the concept of magnificence as a social construction in seventeenth-century Europe.
