Silva de varia leccion.
Silva de varia leccion is a 1673 Spanish printed miscellany by Pedro Mexía, published in Madrid by Matheo de Espinosa y Atteaga for Antonio del Ribero Rodriguez, and held by the John Carter Brown Library. Its pictures are small printed ornaments: a row of five framed scrolling rosettes, a square woodcut tile with a central flower inside a ring, and a band of repeated curled and scrolled motifs. A designer could take from them ready-made border strips, corner pieces and interlaced ornament for period-style page furniture.
