Apologia, y declaracion en dialogos en la lengua mexicana, del symbolo de San Athanasio, y confessionario breve.

Ossorio, Juan, León, Nicolás, 1859-1929. fmo RPJCB · 1653 · Impresso con licentia, en Mexico : en la Imprenta de Iuan Ruyz · 7 pictures

A 1653 Spanish-language Catholic devotional and confessional text printed in Mexico City by Juan Ruyz, with Nahuatl dialogues by Juan Ossorio, held by the John Carter Brown Library and edited by Nicolás León. The pictures are small woodcut devices and religious scenes: a decorative ornament, the Trinity as God the Father with a crucified Christ, a cross in an oval cartouche, and two bearded figures beneath a dove. A designer could draw on their dense scrollwork borders and compact framed emblems for early colonial print ornament.
