Sermon,
A sermon printed in Mexico by Juan Ruiz in 1631, written by Rodrigo de Vivero and held by the John Carter Brown Library, addressed to a Spanish-speaking readership and marking the death of Inés Pacheco de la Cueva. The pictures are type ornaments: an historiated initial, a fleuron-style cartouche, a decorative woodcut initial with curling vines, and a repeated scrolled border strip, all built from symmetry and interlaced scrollwork that a designer could adapt for printed headers, initials, and dividers.
