Perez del Pulgar, Hernan, 1451-1531, Ticknor, George, 1791-1871, former owner. MB · 1527 · Seuilla : Por Jacobo Cromberger aleman · 3 pictures

This is a 1527 Spanish chronicle of the deeds of Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, the Gran Capitán, written by Hernán Pérez del Pulgar and printed in Seville by Jacobo Cromberger for a royal readership. The pictures are woodcut-style initial letters with dense ornamental borders, a large blackletter capital, and a heraldic eagle-and-shield title page that a designer could draw on for historical display type and framing.
