Sermon
A Spanish-language sermon printed in Mexico in 1623 by the press of Juan de Alcaçar beside the Holy Inquisition, preached by Guillermo de los Ríos and concerning Saint Teresa of Avila. The three pictures are woodcut devices: an oval cartouche enclosing the IHS monogram, a title-page frame of the same monogram within ornamental borders, and a heraldic shield with a cross-hatched field, castles, a lion and the word MARI AVE. Their dense, symmetrical strapwork offers a designer models for ecclesiastical border and emblem work.
