Libro dela miseria y breuedad de la vida del hombre : y de sus quatro postrimerias, en lengua mexicana.
A Nahuatl-language devotional book printed in Mexico City in 1604 by Diego Lopez Daualos for Franciscan friar Juan Bautista, aimed at Indigenous readers and treating the misery and brevity of human life and the four last things. The pictures are sparse black-line woodcuts: a coat of arms with a castle and sword, an ornate decorated initial, a skeleton with a scythe framed by a border, and a heraldic shield with a chevron, useful to a designer for strapwork frames, Baroque initials and memento mori imagery.
