An oration in Latin on the life of St. Thomas Aquinas, its author a noted theologian who was a popular preacher in Puebla in the last third of the 18th century. It was the era’s Spanish American custom to illuminate some title-pages by adhering gold foil to letters printed there in red ink, and on this title-page the red phrase “D.
