This Spanish devotional incunable, Thesoro dela Passion sacratissima de Nuestro Redemptor, was written by Andrés de Li and printed in Zaragoza by Pablo Hurus in 1494 for lay readers seeking meditations on Christ's Passion. Its woodcut pictures are framed narrative scenes set within dense black-letter columns, with decorated initials and a few small figures in period dress that show how early print combined text and image on the page.
