Hispali, ex typographia hæredum Thomæ Lopez de Haro, 1698 VERY RARE, unmentioned by Brunet, Rich, Stevens ("Nuggets "), Salva, Ternaux and other bibliographers; but alluded to by Eguiara in his article on the Mexican Academy as an important work.

Gacetas de Literatura de Mexico, 4 vols. sm. 4to. portrait and curious plates, Spanish calf, neatly bound, £3. Puebla [Mexico], 1831 The author was a native of Ozumba, near the city of Mexico. The present article is a reprint of the original work, which appeared in periodical parts towards the end of the last century (i.e., from 1788), and is highly esteemed for the learned and curious scientific and critical disquisitions which it contains. 29180 ALZATE Y RAMIREZ. Diario literario de Mexico, Nos. 1-8, in 1 vol. sm. 4to. bds. 12s 1768 The earliest work of this celebrated savant, and of excessive rarity. It is unmentioned by the bibliographers, and probably no more was published than these eight numbers. 29181 BETANCUR.

Mexico, 1746 Not even the monstrous legend which forms the groundwork of this book could shut out many valuable historical facts, which are woven into the narration. The volume really contains much information not elsewhere to be found, relative to the conversion and education of the various tribes of Indians, History, Politics, Religion, Law, Medicine, etc. 29183 CALENDARIOS MEXICANOS.

Aguirre, in his collection of Spanish Councils, only gives the third of the above from the text of the edition mentioned below. 29190 CONCILIUM PROVINCIALE MEXICI celebratum anno 1585, præsidente Petro Moya Contreras, cum Statutis, 2 parts in 1, folio, corners of a few pages mended, otherwise good copy in vellum, scarce, £2. 10s Mexici, 1622 The engraver of the title-page was Samuel Stradanus from Antwerp. 29191 CONSTITUCIONES de la Universidad de Mexico, segunda edicion (con Suplemento de 1839), 2 vols. in 1, sm. folio, calf, 12s Mexico, 1775-1839 With the following note on the title-page to the word Constituciones: "Fueron extendidas por D.

The Empress is dropped, and the dedication made to the Archbishop of Mexico. Zodiaco Mariano [Historia de las Imagenes de la Virgen Maria, que se veneran en esta America Septentrional y Reynos de la Nueva España], añadida por J. A. de Oviedo, sm. 4to. calf, 20s Mexico, 1755 The Jesuit Florencia was a native of Florida, and perhaps his own name as well as that of his native country formed the chief reason for his persistent and often recorded worship of the "florida imagen." Yet his works contain historical matter notwithstanding their loathsome idolatry. 29204 GILBERTI (Maturini) Grammatica [Latina], trac 29205 tatvs omnivm fere que Grammatices studiosis tradi solēt a fratre Maturino Gilberto minorita ex doctissimis collecta autoribus, 12mo. hf. bd. £40. Mexici, Antonius Espinosa, 1559 the same, three leaves in facsimile, 1559 NYPL Now cat. as Ejusdem Grammatica ad usum tyronum, some leaves The simplified grammar, which in the second preceding article follows the more ample grammar of 1559, is a totally different work from the latter, and apparently quite unknown to bibliographers. Its date is assumed from the use in the preface of the word "nuper," in reference to the 1559 book. Gilbert's Latin Grammar was the first book printed in the Roman character at Mexico. 29206 GONZALEZ DE ESLAVA, Coloquios Espirituales y Sacramentales y Poesias Sagradas, 2da edicion, conforme a la lra, hecha en Mexico en 1610, con una introduccion por J. G. Icazbalceta, sm. 4to. hf. morocco neat, uncut, 32s Only 200 copies printed. Mexico, 1877 29207 GUANAJUATO.

Yassi mesmo los estatutos generales, y el ordinario del officio divino, y manera de dar el habito, y la proffession a los novicios. Nuevamente coregido y impresso en la insigne y gran ciudad de MEXICO en casa de ANTONIO De SPINOSA, frontero del monasterio de sant Augustin. Año, de mill y quinientos y sesenta y siete Anos (1567) APPARENTLY UNIQUE. Folios lxix, including title, on the recto of which is the emblem of the Order, and on verso a woodcut of the Virgin and Child. The volume includes a spirited full-page woodcut of the Crucifixion and a figure of S. Francis on folios 14 and 38, with numerous woodcut initials. The top margins of some leaves are wormed. A very early specimen of Mexican typography: included in the list of books printed in Mexico, known to Señor Icazbalceta and Mr. Harrisse (Bibl. Americ., p. 374, Vol. I), but apparently unknown to other bibliographers. 29210 JUANA INES DE LA CRUZ, Poemas de la unica Poetisa Americana, Musa dezima, en varios metros, idiomas y estilos, segunda edicion, sm. 4to. vellum, 24s Madrid, 1690 29211 29212 Poemas-Segundo tomo de las Obras de Juana Ines de la Cruz-together 2 vols. sm. 4to. vellum, 30s Barcelona, 1691-93 Poemas, Valencia, 1709, Madrid, 1715; (con el tercero tomo que contiene) Fama y Obras posthumas del Fenix de Mexico, dezima musa, Madrid, 1725; together 3 vols. sm. 4to. hf. bd. title of third vol. mounted and two vols. wormed, £2. 1709-25 29213 JUANA INES DE LA CRUZ, Poemas, 2 vols. Madrid, 1725-Fama, etc. 1725-together 3 vols. sm. 4to. vellum, 30s Madrid, 1725 The first volume above, dated Madrid, 1725, is considerably augmented beyond any preceding edition. It includes compositions in Mexican, in Negro-Spanish, in Basque, and in Latin, mixed up with the Spanish poems. The third vol. contains pieces by Spanish-American writers in her praise. The works of this accomplished lady are so generally unknown, that they are no mentioned in Rich, Ternaux, Brunet, or the Nuggets. 29214 LASO DE LA VEGA (Josef Maria) Indice expurgatorio desde el año de 1748, para el mas pronto y expedito reconocimiento de los libros que entran y salen en esta ciudad de la Nueva Vera Cruz, folio, the author's MS. 310 pp. with fine pen and ink embellishments and initial letters; silk binding, £7. 10s Vera Cruz, 1779 This work is not included in Beristain's list of the author's writings. It looks as if it had been prepared for impression. 29215 LEZAMIS (Joseph de) Vida del Apostol Santiago el Mayor . unico y singular Patron de España con algunas antiguedades, y excelencias de España, especialmente de Viscaya, sm. 4to. vellum, Mexico, Doña Maria de Benavides, 1699 £7. VERY RARE. The only other copy I have seen fetched £12. 58 at Puttick's in 1869. The most valuable part of the work is the Treatise on the Antiquities of Spain, in which there are eight pages of prose and verse in the Basque language. 29216 LORENZANA (F. A., Arzobispo de Mexico) Cartas Pastorales, y Edictos, 4to. hf. bd. 5s 29217 Mexico, 1770 Aranzel para todos los curas de este Arzobispado, fuera de la Ciudad, with his AUTOGRAPH, 1767-Public viceregal and archiepiscopal manifestoes, a most curious collection, folded in 1 vol. sm. folio, in fine condition, vellum, £2.

Inocencio XI, añadidas las 45 Proposiciones de P. Alexandro VII, small 4to. vellum, 12s Mexico, 1684 A very curious compilation by an official of the Inquisition. Some of the offences set down in this book are such as should not be mentioned to ears polite." 66 29220 MANUALE secundum usum almæ Ecclesiæ Mexicanæ, sm. 4to. hf. red morocco, the Ramirez copy, £25. Impressum in præclara urbe Mexicana, in edibus Johannis Pauli (JUAN PABLOS) impressoris, A.D. 1560 EXTREMELY RARE; imperfect; commencing on b 1 (fol. 9), and consequently wanting the first 8 fols. (which include title); the last two leaves are slightly defective. Printed in red and black Gothic letter, with woodcuts and musical notes. The pagination is irregular, but the copy is quite complete from fols. 9-173, on verso of the latter of which begins the "Tabula," 3 pp. (not numb.); then on the opposite page the Colophon, 1 p., followed by Licenses, etc. 7 pp., which apparently finish the work. Not mentioned by Leclerc, Graesse, or Brunet, though the continuator of the latter mentions the copy from the Maximilian collection, which wanted the first 17 leaves, and is the only one, besides the present, of which I find any record (the copy mentioned in the Bibl. Americ. as known to Icazbalceta and Mr. Harrisse be ingmost probably one of these two). A very early specimen from the press of Mexico's prototypographer. |
