A 1585 Spanish-language confessional manual printed in Lima by Antonio Ricardo, compiled under the Provincial Council of Lima for Catholic priests ministering to Indigenous Andean peoples, with Quechua and Aymara text. The pictures are small woodcut decorations: a historiated initial letter with a figure in its lower bowl, a crude framed woodcut scene of figures, and a leafy scrolling border strip. A designer might take the dense black-line woodcut vocabulary, the scrolled acanthus-like border, and the rustic letterform capitals.
