Coronica delas Indias. La hystoria general de las Indias agora nueuamente impressa corregida y emendada. 1547 : y con la conquista del Peru
Oviedo y Valdés's general history of the Indies, printed in Salamanca by Juan de Junta in 1547 for a Spanish readership, with the conquest of Peru appended. Its pages are dense black-letter Spanish type set in justified columns, opening with large historiated initials and ornamental headpieces. A designer could draw on the carved, foliate initial letters and the tight typographic texture of the text blocks.
