Los V libros de Seneca is a 1510 Spanish translation of Seneca's moral philosophy, rendered by Alonso de Cartagena and printed at Toledo by the heirs of Peter Hagenbach for Spanish-reading scholars and readers. The opening page shows a woodcut of a scholar writing at a desk in a vaulted room beside a blackletter title, with a Boston Public Library seal on the second picture; a designer might borrow the compact woodcut interior and the heavy gothic display capitals.
