Sermon que en la celebridad de la translacion del cuerpo del glorioso apostol de la India S. Francisco Xavier en la parrochia de la Sancta Vera-cruz de esta ciudad
A 1694 Spanish-language sermon printed in Mexico City by the widow of Francisco Rodríguez Lupercio, preached by Luis Alberto Avilés on the translation of St Francis Xavier's body at the Holy Cross parish church. The pictures are letterpress printing ornaments: a heraldic-style cartouche with scrollwork, a foliate woodcut initial V, and a decorated initial E set among the printed text. A designer might take from them the dense, symmetrical blackletter-era ornament borders and the strong contrast between carved initial letters and small roman type.
