Concilium Limense. Celebratum anno 1583. sub Gregorio XIII. Sum. Pont. auctoritate Sixti Quinti Pont. Max. approbatum.
This is a 1614 Madrid printing of the acts of the Lima provincial council of 1583, issued by the Sanchez press for Spanish-American clergy and church administrators. Its pages are dense Latin roman type set in justified columns, with a few decorative initials and running headers in large spaced capitals. A designer could take from them the look of early seventeenth-century ecclesiastical text, with its ornate woodcut initial built from interlocking scrollwork and its strong capital headings.
