THE PREACHERS’ GARDEN

OF THE TRIUMPHANT CITY OF JERUSALEM,

IN WHICH ITS MAGNIFICENCE,

parts, riches, buildings, the multitude of its citizens,

their life, and their blessedness are treated.

LIKEWISE OF PURGATORY: THE STATE,

punishments, and torments of the souls dwelling therein, and the various

suffrages for aiding them:

MOREOVER, THE SITE AND LOCATION OF HELL,

the wretched conditions of the damned, and also their horrible

tortures are explained at length.

BY THE AUTHOR, THE REVEREND FATHER FRIAR ANTONINO DE PACTIS,

Of the Order of Friars Minor of the Reformed Observance of the Province of Sicily,

Lecturer in Sacred Theology and Canon Law.

A WORK NOT ONLY NECESSARY FOR PREACHERS AND THOSE DEVOTED

to the contemplative life, but also exceedingly useful to all the faithful for kindling

a love of eternal glory and for pursuing the flight from vices.

WITH A THREEFOLD INDEX, IN THE FIRST OF WHICH

the Considerations, Discourses, and their Chapters are contained. In the second, all things

worthy of note occurring throughout. In the third, for the convenience of preachers,

the Sermons are applied through Lent and the course of the whole year.

An ornate woodcut printer's device or emblem. In the center, Jesus Christ (Salvator Mundi) is depicted standing, wearing robes, holding a globus cruciger in his left hand and raising his right hand in a gesture of blessing. He is framed by an oval of light (mandorla). The central scene is flanked by two robed figures standing within architectural niches. Below Christ's feet, the word "SALVATOR" is inscribed in a cartouche. The entire image is enclosed in a decorative rectangular border with floral and architectural elements.
