Catholic Church. Province of Lima. Concilio Provincial (1583), Alcobaza, Diego de · 1603 · Impresso en Sevilla : En casa de Clemente Hidalgo · 6 pictures

A 1603 Spanish-language confessional manual for priests working with Indigenous peoples in the Andes, printed in Seville by Clemente Hidalgo from a text by Diego de Alcobaza tied to the Lima Provincial Council. The pictures are four printed borders or headpieces: strips of interlaced scrollwork, pierced ornaments and repeated cartouche motifs in black on cream paper. A designer could take from them a dense, rhythmic arrangement of symmetrical woodcut ornament suited to banding, frames or pattern repeats.
