930J Natalis, Adnotationes et meditationes
Few books better embody the Counter-Reformation synthesis of image, text, and devotion than Hieronymus Nadal’s Adnotationes et meditationes in Evangelia (Antwerp, 1595). Conceived as a visual and spiritual instrument for the global mission of the Society of Jesus, this monumental folio unites 153 superb Flemish engravings—by the Wierix circle and their collaborators—with a systematic program of Gospel meditation. Issued posthumously under Jesuit supervision, Nadal’s work stands as one of the great illustrated Gospel books of the late sixteenth century and a cornerstone of Jesuit visual culture.
