A Spanish chronicle of the Emperor Alfonso VII of Castile and Leon, written by Prudencio de Sandoval and printed in Madrid in 1600 by Luis Sanchez for a learned readership of historians and nobles. Its pictures are four woodcut decorated initials, D and E, with interlaced foliage, scrolling tendrils and acanthus-like leaves filling the letter bodies, a compact repertoire of Renaissance ornament a designer could adapt for display capitals and borders.
