La coronica general de España
La coronica general de España is a 1574 Spanish chronicle by Florián de Ocampo, continued by Ambrosio de Morales, printed at Alcalá de Henares for a Spanish readership interested in the nation's history. Its pictures are mostly framed Latin inscriptions set in engraved frames and a woodcut historiated initial with vines and a figure, with ornamental pilasters and scrolls; a designer might take the classical lettering layouts and the dense woodcut ornament as models for decorative borders and initials.
