About this Item

8vo. (8), 164 ff. With armorial woodcuts to title-page and final page. (Bound with) II: Ripol, Juan. Dialogo de consuelo por la expulsion de los Moriscos de España. (1), 23 ff. Ibid., 1613. Contemporary vellum with 18th century red morocco label to spine. Marbled endpapers. Two of the surprisingly few contemporary Spanish works on the expulsion of the "Moriscos", the Spanish Muslims and their descendants who became baptized Christians, both in their first edition. - The first work, written by a Carmelite Friar, is less fanatical than the better-known texts of Bleda and Fonseca, both of whom were aggressive in their efforts to influence the Spanish crown in favour of the expulsion. The second debates the issue in the form of a learned dialogue. The two works are usually bound together and are rarely found in good condition. - Extremities, head of spine, and front hinge professionally restored. Later paper repair to top margin of first title-page, a few instances of light water-staining, rest of interior very good. - 1) Faded early handwritten ownership "Soy del uso de Fr. Antonio de Guzman" on title-page (with a few similarly faded early handwritten notes on verso). 2) Later in the collection of the British politician Henry Beaufoy (1750-95) with his bookplate to front pastedown. 3) Latterly acquired by the Harvard College Library from the Amey Richmond Sheldon Fund (their bookplate to front pastedown; their accession and release stamps to verso of title-page). - Palau 109.278, 109.279 & 269.173.
