De contemptu omnium vanitatum huius mundi
A Latin devotional treatise on contempt for worldly vanities, attributed to Bernard and copied in Mexico around 1700 by Augustín de Vetancurt, with Nahuatl material, likely for Indigenous readers and clergy. The pictures are plain manuscript pages with rubricated red and orange initials, decorative capitals and ruled lines of dense black script, offering a designer ideas for hand-lettered headings, drop caps and historic text layouts.
