From a copy in the Annmary Brown Memorial Library, Providence
1496
The Salamanca edition of Leyes del Quaderno nuevo delas rentas delas alcavalas y frāquezas, etc., printed about 1496, with its four lines of gothic text beneath an immense and brilliant heraldic shield, is reminiscent of the huge armorial bearings used in decoration in other branches of Spanish art.
