Comiençan las cortes que Su Magestad del emperador y rey nuestro señor tuuo en la villa de Madrid: : con las leyes, y prematicas que en ella hizo, y ordeno. Juntamente con la prematica de las mulas, hecha en la ciudad de Toledo: y la declaracion despues hecha en las cortes de Madrid el año passado de mil y quinientos y treynta y quatro.
This 1535 legal compilation of Spanish Cortes laws and decrees, issued under Emperor Charles I and printed at Alcala de Henares by Miguel de Eguia, was made for the Spanish crown and its officials. Its pictures are printed woodcut and typographic ornaments: a strapwork headpiece with grotesques, a bordered black-letter opening with a fleuron band, and a historiated initial showing a seated figure in a roundel, with one engraved heraldic achievement of a shield, crest and scrolls. A designer could draw on the dense ornamental borders, the interlocking black-letter display type and the heraldic scroll work.
