A 1612 Aymara and Spanish bilingual devotional book on the life and miracles of Jesus Christ, compiled by Alonso de Villegas and adapted by the Italian Jesuit Ludovico Bertonio, printed at the Jesuit house in Juli, Peru for Aymara-speaking Indigenous readers. The three pictures are small woodcut ornaments: two oval panels of interlaced foliage and star-like rosettes, and a rectangular frame with radiating rays around the IHS monogram and a cross. A designer could draw on the dense, symmetrical strapwork and the radiating sunburst framing.
