A beautiful
post-incunabulum from Seville in Gothic script with elaborate woodcut initial
letters, tables and diagrams and a title page typical of the printing works of
the eldest of the Crombergers. This book is reminiscent of the fine work of
Meinardo Ungut - a rototypographer working in Granada with Juan Pegnitzer - and
Estanislao Polono - the prototypographer from Alcalá de Henares, whose
woodcuts and type materials were used by Jacobo Cromberger.
