Synopsis:

The patently popular style of this Valencian post-incunabula reveals a typographic product which was very typical of Juan Joffre's printing works.

The history of Valencia is steeped in devout traditions as its typographical history clearly demonstrates. This is the only copy known of in the world and only one of its pages, n. 38 is mutilated. Particularly noteworthy are the seven prints interspersed throughout the text, some of which are factotum images, i.e. produced using multipurpose woodcut printing blocks.
