A Latin chronological digest of Spanish history compiled by the Swabian-born monk Gabriel Bucelin and printed at Frankfurt in 1664 by the widow of Johann Görlin, for scholars and readers wanting a compact summary of Spain's past. The pictures are small, mostly typographic: a printer's ornamental cartouche with a winged figure and a Latin motto, and a woodcut map of the Iberian peninsula with dense place names in a sparse, engraved style a designer could borrow for ornament or antique cartography.
