Condition: Very Good / Muy bien. [4ª Edición?].- Con Licencia. Madrid: Por Don Antonio Espinosa, Año de 1788.- [4 h.], 355 p., [2 h.]; 8º menor (15,5 x 11 cm.); Pleno Pergamino época.- RARO. En excelente estado de conservación. La primera edición de este libro está fechada en "Roan: Laurents Mavrry, 1644". Don Antonio Henrique Gómez nació en Cuenca el año 1600 y murió en Sevilla el año de 1663. Fue un excelente dramaturgo y poeta. Hijo de un judío converso, la Inquisición le acuso de criptojudaismo y tuvo que huir a Francia, donde fue secretario del Rey Luis XIII. Al cabo del tiempo volvió a España con el nombre falso de Fernando de Zárate, pero fue descubierto y encarcelado por la Inquisición, muriendo al poco tiempo en cautiverio. "El Siglo Pitagórico" fue su obra más leída, dividida en capítulos en verso y prosa que narran cada uno la vida de un personaje diferente, cuya alma transmigra de un cuerpo a otro. Una de las vidas, la más extensa, puede considerarse en sí misma una novela picaresca. Palau 79836. Libro en español LITERATURA ESPAÑOLA Y FILOSOFÍA DE LOS SIGLOS XVI Y XVII.

An edition of Valencia, 1647, is equally rare. There are subsequent editions of Madrid 1660, Madrid 1668, Madrid 1690, Barcelona 1704, Mexico 1726, Madrid 1734, as well and twentieth- and twenty-first-century editions. None of the seventeenth- or eighteenth-century editions are easy to obtain.A comparison between this and the third edition, which we once had in hand, revealed a number of differences. According to Salvá, the second of Valencia, 1647, has the same preliminaries and text as the first, differing only in that it does not contain the portrait of the author found in the first edition. This 1642 edition contains a dedication in verse by the author to the D. Ana of Austria, eldest daughter of Philip III of Spain, Queen of France and Regent for her minor son, Louis XIV, while the 1660 edition contains a dedication by Gregorio Rodriguez to Gaspar Haro y Guzman, in prose. Both contain an "Apologia" by the Portuguese Jewish writer Manuel Fernandez Villa Real (a.k.a Manoel Fernandes Villareal), which had also appeared in the second edition of 1647, as did a "Prologo" by the author, with significant critical literary comments, though in this third edition with an omission of a paragraph about Manuel Fernandes Villareal which had been included here in the original. The "Apologia" was omitted from several later editions. In this first edition there are listed 11 "Interlocutores de las Academias" while in the third edition 14 "Interlocutores que hablan en las Academias" are listed. There are other minor differences throughout in orthography. The comedy "Contra el amor no ay enganos" has 10 "Personas" listed at the beginning in the first edition, and only 9 in the third, while the comedy "Amor con vista y cordura" lists 9 "Personas" in the first edition, and 10 in the third. Scholarly accounts of the author's life differ widely, and much research remains to be done to sort out the conflicting assertions, although the following may be reasonably accurate. Enríquez Gómez (1600-1663), the son of Portuguese Jews, was probably born in Cuenca (some say Segovia, others Lisbon). Entering the military at the age of 20, he rose to the rank of captain before fleeing to France in 1636 amid growing suspicions concerning his religious beliefs. He lived in Bordeaux, Rouen, and Paris, where he secured an appointment as secretary to Louis XIII. While in France Enríquez Gómez also pursued a distinguished career as a novelist, poet, and playwright. There are rumors of earlier pliegos or sueltas; his first certain published book (preceded only by a pamphlet, Triumpho lusitano, which appeared in 1641), Academias morales (Bordeaux, 1642), contains various poetical works and four comedias. Surely due to its rarity, some bibliographers, never having seen a copy, repeat the erroneous and improbable date of 1612 instead of 1642 for the first edition. Two years later he published perhaps his best-known work, the picaresque novel in verse, El siglo pitagórico y vida de D. Gregorio Guadaña (Rouen, 1644). Enríquez Gómez's dramatic output numbers over two dozen comedias, most composed in the Calderonian manner, and possibly includes several written under the pseudonym(?) Fernando de Zárate. The Inquisition was a frequent target of Enríquez Gómez's pen, especially in the second part of his Política angélica (Rouen, 1647) where he called for various reforms, particularly relaxation of its emphasis on limpieza de sangre which had perhaps prompted his own flight a decade earlier. Despite having been burned in effigy at an auto da fé in Seville in 1660, Enríquez Gómez returned there shortly afterward. He was arrested by the Inquisition and died in Seville in 1663, perhaps while still imprisoned.*** Répertoire bibliographique des livres imprimés en France au XVIIe siècle XIV, 153, no. 975 (without mention of the engraved title or engraved portrait; locating 6 copies including BL and HSA).
