Obras q[ue] Francisco Ceruantes de Salazar, ha hecho, glosado, y traduzido

Pérez de Oliva, Fernán, 1494?-1533. Diálogo de la dignidad del hombre · 1546 · Imprimiase en esta casa de Alcala : [Juan de Brocar] · 7 pictures

A 1546 Spanish printed book issued by Juan de Brocar in Alcalá, a Castilian humanist text with the Obras of Francisco Cervantes de Salazar. Its pages open with large woodcut historiated initials, one with a figure among foliage, set beside dense black-letter columns of type on aged paper. A designer could take from it the framing of a decorated capital against tightly set justified text, and the contrast of rich ornament with plain print.
