Nájera Yanguas, Diego de, 1570-1635, León, Nicolás, 1859-1929. fmo RPJCB · 1637 · Impresso en Mexico : por Iuan Ruyz · 2 pictures

A 1637 Spanish-language Catholic doctrine printed in Mexico City by Juan Ruiz for ministers and Mazahua-speaking Indigenous readers, written by Diego de Nájera Yanguas and later edited by Nicolás León. The pages are dense blackletter-style roman type set in two columns with faint show-through from the reverse side, offering a designer a dense, aged typographic texture, with ink bleed and bold italic initials worth studying for historical lettering.
