A 1681 Madrid legal compilation of Spanish laws for the Indies, printed by Julián de Paredes under royal commission for colonial administrators and lawyers. Its pictures are repeated woodcut historiated initials, chiefly a large letter F framed by scrolling foliate ornament with a flower vase inside, plus a letter P. A designer could take from them the dense, symmetrical strapwork frames and the stylised vase of flowers as a model for decorative capitals.
