ABSTRACT: Two illustrated editorial genres produced in the transition to the Modern Age are defined and analysed: insignias and letters of brotherhood, respectively associated with indulgence bulls and charitable institutions. These genres share some formal characteristics, but they correspond to different issuers and functions, so that their identification and cataloguing has not always been correct. It also offers a first census of examples located in Spanish heritage institutions.
