Vida, y virtudes heroycas de la madre Maria de Jesus, religiosa professa en el Convento de la Limpia Concepcion de la Virgen Maria N. Señora de la Ciudad de los Angeles.
A 1676 Spanish-language devotional biography of the nun Maria de Jesus, written by Francisco Pardo and printed in Mexico City by the widow of Bernardo Calderon for a religious readership. The pages are dense blocks of close-set black letter-style roman type with handwritten marginal annotations, a manuscript-style flourish signature, and a historiated initial, which a designer might take as a model for layered text and decorative capitals.
