Catholic Church · 1551 · En Lyon : por Guilielmo Rouillio. · 11 pictures

This is a Spanish-language Book of Hours printed in Lyon in 1551 by Guillaume Rouillé for lay Catholic devotion, following the Roman rite. Its pages are set in black-letter type inside dense decorative borders, with woodcut initials and small framed scenes such as a saint and a kneeling figure. A designer might borrow the strong black-and-white border ornament, the historiated initials, and the compact text-and-frame layout of sixteenth-century devotional print.
