Notes
Typographic approbations on reverse of title page: 1) "Haec schemata a Philippo Gallaeo aeri incisa ob eruditionem, pietatem, et consecuturam utilitatem publicanda censeo," signed by Jan Vermeulen (1533-1585, Lat. Joannes Molanus), and 2) "Hae octo tabulae de septem Sacramentis artificiosissime compositae, & suis S. scripturae testimonijs demonstratae, Sanctae Catholicae Romanae Ecclesiae regligioni omnino conueniunt: & eas intue[n]tibus ipsam fidei catechesin ostendunt. Proinde easdem, cum visu, lectuq[ue] dignissimae & omnibus vtilissimae sint, imprimendas & comparandas censeo. Antuerpiae An.° 1576 die primo Martij," Henrik Zebert a Dungen, dated 1 March 1576.
Elements in the graphic layout of each engraving are reminiscent of the Biblia pauperum tradition and typological interpretation of Christian scripture.
