Dictionarium ex Hisniensi in Latinum sermonem

Nebrija, Antonio de, 1444?-1522 · 1540 · 2 pictures

A 1540 manuscript Spanish-Latin-Nahuatl word list attributed to Antonio de Nebrija, written for Latin-learning readers in New Spain. The pictures show dense handwritten columns of Latin headwords with Spanish glosses in black ink and Nahuatl equivalents in red, plus a large decorated initial letter. A designer might draw on the layered red and black annotation and the hand-lettered rhythm of the columns for a textured, archival look.
