Media Piel. Condition: Bueno. Primera Edicion. XXIV pgs, 886, XXVII pgs, 23cms x 19cms. Tapa dura en tela con roces, lomo en piel con costillas, pequeños faltantes en la cabeza del lomo. La Cronica de este autor fue la primera historia de la Conquista de la Nueva Galicia. El autor convivió con los conquistadores. Esta obra sirvió de fuente a los cronistas Beaumont y Mota Padilla. Fue editada por José López Portillo y Rojas, quien firma la introducción. Fray Antonio Tello escribió sus crónicas en algún momento de 1650, pero los "cuadernos" languidecieron en manuscrito 250 años en el "Archivo de la Provincia del Santo Evangelio de México", según Beristain de Souza. Este libro es una fuente importante para la historia antigua del Noroeste y del Suroeste de Mexico. El autor tuvo acceso a las fuentes primarias, especialmente conocimiento personal de los conquistadores y los frailes, a cuyas aventuras él se refiere. Abundan las historias de la expedición de Coronado, así como una gran cantidad de información sobre Fray Marcos y Cabeza de Vaca. Tello fue sin duda la fuente de las historias de los Frailes Beaumont y Mota Padilla sobre la región.

Second printing. Thick ovtavo, 9 x 7 in (23 x 18 cm), pp 188, [x], [4], xxiv, 886, xxvii (index). This is actually a facsimile, except for rather extensive editorial matter and the numerous illustrations, of the first edition of this book, which was printed in Guadalajara in 1891. Fray Antonio Tello wrote his chronicles sometime around 1650, but the "cuadernos" languished in manuscript for 250 years in the "archivo de la provincia del Santo Evangelio de Mexico", according to Beristain de Souza., but repeated efforts to find these were in vain due to the sequestering of the convents in Mexico. The story, taken from the intorduction, is that Dr. Nicolas Leon, the eminent 19th century Mexican bibliophile, found the text in a spice shop in Celaya, where it had been bought for wrapping paper. There were 6 books, the first of which has been lost. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th have been published, singly, at different times, as well as part of the 5th. This, book 2, is complete in itself, and is an important source for the very early history of this area of northwest Mexico and the Southwest. He had access to sources unique to his work, esp. personal acquaintance with the original conquistadors and friars whose adventures he relates. Notices of the Coronado expedition abound, as well as much information on Fray Marcos and Cabeza de Vaca. Tello was admittedly the source for Frs. Beaumont and Mota Padilla's later, but still early histories of the region. Very nice Porrua edition, bound in cloth, with dust jacket. Fine.

Third edition. México, Editorial Porrúa, 1997. En 4ş (235 x 180)mm. xxvii-886pp., (2) h., láminas en blanco y negro. Encuadernación en piel editorial con camisa. Tercera edición de este estimado libro, la primera impresa en Guadalajara en 1891. Contiene un extenso estudio introductorio y la reproducción facsimilar de la edición príncipe. Las obras y textos de Fray Antronio Tello fueron escritos a mediados del siglo XVII, pero permanecieron inéditos y olvidados en el "Archivo de la Provincia del Santo Evangelio de México". Según parece, el bibliófilo Dr. Nicolás León, encontró varios volúmenes manuscritos de Tello procedentes del Archivo en una tienda en Celaya que iban a ser utilizados como papel de envolver. Yo dudo de la versión del Dr. Nicolás León, en todo caso parece que fueron 6 los libros rescatados, de los cuales el primero se perdió. Este segundo libro es obra completa y está dedicada a la conquista de la provincia de Jalisco. 235x180mm. (9ĵx7").

Beaumont and Mota Padilla's later, but still early histories of the region. Title page has the library stamp, partially obliterated, of the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolas de Hidalgo, with a shelf label laid in. Contemporary binding of calf over black marbled boards, gilt title and panels, raised bands: previous owner's signature in ink on title page, which looks to be from the 1890's, and two discreet library stamps (?) on top and bottom edges of text; a little wear along the edges of binding as well. Very good copy.
