Principios y reglas de la lengua cummanagota, general en varias naciones, que habitan en la Provincia de Cummana en las Indias Occidentales.
A 1683 Spanish-language grammar of the Cumanagoto language of the Cumaná province in the Indies, printed in Burgos by Juan de Viar and attributed to Manuel de Yangues with a dictionary by Matías Ruiz Blanco. The page is a dense letterpress text set in two columns with Spanish headings, example phrases and a few italic verb forms, with no decoration. A designer might take from it the crowded, unornamented rhythm of seventeenth-century type, with bold initial capitals and indented verb-conjugation blocks as a model for text-heavy layouts.
