tree_and_leafWhile looking for Ignatius of Antioch on the web catalogue (and typing in the wrong thing) I ended up discovering the following slightly mindboggling entry, for one of Donne's obscurer works:
Ignatius his conclaue: or his inthronisation in a late election in hell: wherein many things are mingled by way of satyr; concerning the disposition of Iesuits, the creation of a new hell, the establishing of a church in the moone. There is also added an apology for Iesuites. All dedicated to the two aduersary angels, which are protectors of the Papall Consistory, and of the Colledge of Sorbon. Translated out of Latine.
London : Printed by N[icholas] O[kes] for Richard Moore, and are to be sold at his shop in S. Dunstones Church-yard, 1611.
You may - possibly - be able to access it here.
Gosh. I mean, I know Donne engaged in anti-Catholic polemic, but... gosh. It does contain the splendid phrase "Suburbs of Hell" for Limbo and Purgatory... though of course Purgatory is really a suburb of heaven, but it's a great line.
Also, there's something marvellous about early modern titles that cover a whole paragraph.
