Catalogo de manuscritos españoles
A Spanish-language catalogue of Spanish manuscripts compiled by José Miró Argenter and published privately in Berlin in 1885, held by the Getty Research Institute. The plates show paired impressions of medieval and early modern royal seals, along with handwritten signatures, with equestrian figures, quartered heraldic shields and inscribed circular legends. A designer could draw on the bold circular seal compositions, the quartered shield layouts and the ring-text lettering for emblem or stamp-style graphics.
