A 1551 Spanish chronicle printed in Valladolid by Pedro de Espinosa and Antonio de Zamora, recounting the reign of Alfonso XI of Castile and León, attributed to Juan Núñez de Villaizán. The pictures are four woodcut decorated initials with interlaced strapwork, grotesque faces, and scrolling foliage, set in hatched square frames. A designer could take from them a model for historical letterforms built from knotwork, animal heads and curling acanthus.

Alfonso XI, King of Castile and Leon, 1311-1350
