Edition information
Illustrations55 copper engravings, c. 57 × c. 38 (the representations themselves are oval, surrounded at the corners by a fleuron-style ornamentation). Designed by Pieter van der Borcht, whose monogram figures on 38 of the 55 plates. The engraver is not indicated, but he may perhaps be identified with Paul Uten Waele who in 1580 engraved a similar series for the Sanctorum Kalendarii Romani...imagines in aere excisae (see no. cp013308)

Online bibliographical references
Note 1Publication consisting essentially in an illustrated series of scenes from the Life of Jesus Christ celebrated in the Church on not-fixed dates, and arranged according to the liturgical calendar. The illustrations are printed on the uneven pages, with above the image the liturgical date (printed typographically), underneath a note about the scene (also printed typographically); the whole within typographically printed double lines. The even pages are blank, but with numeration, and are also printed within double lines.
Note 2The publication appears as the counterpart of the also in 1580 published illustrated series of saints and feasts celebrated on fixed calendar-days (see no. cp013308: Sanctorum Kalendarii Romani iuxta Concilium Tridentinum restituti, imagines in aere excisae). In fact, the Evangeliorum dominicalium summaria, notwithstanding that it is presented formally as a separate publication, was considered to form an integral part of the Imagines in aere excisae and was normally sold together with it (and is indeed as such listed with the Imagines in Ms. 321, M 296, and M 164, whilst it is not noted separately in these catalogues).
