A 1563 Mexico City legal compilation of royal provisions, decrees and ordinances for governing New Spain and protecting its Indigenous peoples, printed by Pedro Ocharte for colonial officials and administrators. The pages are set in dense black-letter type with large decorated initial letters, historiated woodcut initials and red-and-black headings, with printed text filling most of each page. A designer might take the ornate woodcut initial capitals, with their figures and foliage, and the compact justified columns of heavy gothic type as models for display lettering and decorative drop caps.
