Luna, Miguel de, 16th/17th cent · 1592 · Granada : Impressa por Rene Rabut · 57 pictures

A 1592 Spanish chronicle printed in Granada by Rene Rabut, written by Miguel de Luna as a supposed translation of an Arabic history of the fall of Spain under King Rodrigo and the Moorish conquest. The pictures are small woodcut decorative initials: a large ornate letter with scrollwork and foliage, and several square letter C blocks with dark textured grounds and pale vine and leaf tracery, useful for designers wanting historic printers' ornament and Renaissance initial patterns.
