Doctrina christiana muy cumplida, : donde se contiene la exposicion de todo lo necessario para doctrinar alos Yndios, y administralles los Sanctos Sacramentos.
A 1575 Spanish-language Catholic catechism printed in Mexico City by Pedro Balli, written by the Franciscan friar Juan de la Anunciación for missionaries instructing Indigenous peoples in the sacraments. The pages show black-letter Spanish text with large decorated woodcut initial letters, a title page with a printer's ornament, and a table of contents with a small emblem of a bearded saint in a cartouche. A designer could draw on the historiated initials, with figures and foliage packed into capital letters, and the ornamental cartouche for dense, compositional lettering.
