This 1575 Mexico City imprint, printed by Antonio de Espinosa, is a Catholic doctrinal and sermon book by Juan de Medina Plaza, an Augustinian friar, written in Tarascan (Purépecha) for Indigenous Michoacán readers. Its pictures are plain black-letter pages with woodcut initials, ornate decorated capitals of scrolling foliage and interlace that a designer could borrow for display letterforms, headers, and historic borders.
