Copilacion breue de vn tratado de sant Buenauentura que se llama: Mistica theologia
A devotional treatise by Saint Bonaventure, printed in Mexico City in 1549 by Juan Pablos, the first press in the Americas, for Spanish-speaking readers of mystical theology. The pictures are black-letter Gothic type with ornamental woodcut initials built from interlaced scrollwork, a small devotional roundel of a saint on a title page, and a heraldic bookplate with a shield, crest and scroll; a designer could draw on the decorative initials and the framed, symmetrical title-page layout.
