A Jesuit history of missionary work in India, China and Japan, written by Luis de Guzmán and printed in Alcalá in 1601 for a religious readership. Its pages show decorative woodcut initials, with ornate foliage and grotesque figures filling large capitals beside dense black-letter Spanish text, which a designer might take as a model for historical display type and framed drop caps.
