A Jesv Christo S.N. ofrece este sermonario en lengua mexicana, su indigno sieruo fr. Ioan Baptista de la orden del seraphico padre Sanct Francisco...
A Spanish-language Nahuatl sermon collection printed in Mexico in 1606 by D. Lopez Daualos and written by the Franciscan friar Juan Bautista for missionary preachers. The picture is a large decorated initial M with a historiated, foliate ornament of scrolling vines, leaves and small flowers, set beside the opening words in large capitals and dense black-letter text. A designer could take the interlaced vine letterform, the contrast of heavy outline with fine leafy filling, and the way a bold capital anchors a dense text block.
