A 1614 Spanish-language manual printed in Mexico City by María de Espinosa's press, compiled by Martín de León for Dominican ministers administering the sacraments to Indigenous peoples. The two pictures are small woodcut and engraved devices: a dense printed ornament of interlaced scrolls, rosettes and foliage framing a central cross-like motif, and a coat of arms with a helmet, crest, eagle and banner lettered GAUDEO. A designer could take the tightly packed woodcut border rhythm and the heraldic shield layout as models for ornament and emblem work.
