León, Martin de, d. ca. 1600, León, Nicolás, 1859-1929. fmo RPJCB · 1614 · En Mexico, con licencia : En la Emprenta de la Viuda de Diego Lopez Daualos. Por C. Adriano Cesar · 4 pictures

A 1614 Mexico City sermon collection in the Mexican (Nahuatl) language by Martin de Leon, printed for Indigenous preachers and Catholic clergy at the press of the widow of Diego Lopez Daualos. The four pictures are letterpress printer's ornaments: two symmetrical pendant panels of interlaced scrollwork, a woodcut initial Y set in a square frame with flowers and leaves, and a large decorated initial E beside Spanish text. Designers can draw on the dense filigree symmetry of the panels and the foliate woodcut letterforms for borders, initials and framing devices.
