A Latin poetics textbook printed in Mexico City in 1605 by Henricus Martinez for student use in Jesuit college schools, issued by a Marian congregation. Its two pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a dense strip of scrollwork and foliage bordering a page, and a heraldic cartouche of shields, helmet and hanging tassels set between Latin lines. A designer might draw on the compact, repeating border strips and the armorial cartouche for period typographic framing.
