Juan de la Cruz. Unlike the first edition, printed in Lisbon by Luís Rodrigues in 1541, the present one includes a detailed colophon at the end of the text (f. y3r, fol. 171): ¶ A lo[v]or de Dios y dela gloriosa Virgen Maria se acabo de empremir la presente historia dela yglesia de Dios trasladada d[e] latin e[n] romance por el padre frey Juan de la cruz d[e]la orde[n] de predicadores de la prouincia de Portugal y agora de nueuo corregida por el mismo interprete.

The title page (blank verso) presents a Renaissance architectural framework; followed by the dedication to King D. João III (front and back); the «Prologo del interprete al Lector» occupies the third folio and the front of the following one (on the back the «Auisos»). On the front of the fifth folio (A1) we find the «Prologo de Eusebio Obispo de Cesarea», the text itself beginning on the verso of the same folio, which extends to the front of page 171 (f. y3r); the «Tabla delos Libros y Capitulos» fills the last seven pages (f. y3v to y6v). With the exception of the current titles, the text of the nine books is composed entirely in Gothic characters; the remaining texts (preliminary and final pages) are also printed in round characters. Copy very slightly cropped (carmine edge) and with slight browning, but generally clean; minor restoration on the lower margin of the third sheet. Recent and simple binding, complete with flexible parchment. Anselmo, 61. Palau, 115185. BN (16th century), 245. King D. Manuel II Library, 150.

The author (ca. 1625-1692) was admiral of the Portuguese Fleet in Brazil and governor of Pernambuco (1661-1664) ), which allowed him to describe the events at first hand, having also had access to extensive documentation, both Portuguese and Dutch. The edition includes an engraved allegorical frontispiece, which is missing from the present copy. It also includes the «Viage [sic] da Armada da Companhia do Commercio, e Frotas do Estado do Brasil», with its own title page, dating from 1655 ([8], 64 p.).

The author's third work on Portugal, the first two having been published in 1795: “Plans, elevations, sections and views of the church of Batalha...” and “Travels in Portugal through the provinces of Entre Douro e Minho, Beira, Estremadura and Alem-Tejo in the years 1789 and 1790”. It includes a map of Portugal (double, at the end) and 15 aquatints, coloured by hand, representing mainly Portuguese customs and costumes. The location of the engravings and the map strictly respects their original placement, according to the index on pages IX and X. The copy, with good margins, belonged to Rodrigo da Fonseca Magalhães (1787-1858), bearing its white seal and ownership on the title page; another ownership crossed out, on the lower margin, with a stain passing slightly to the next sheet. Some sections with browning, but the engravings are exceptionally clean and fresh. The copies with the hand-coloured engravings are very unusual. Ex-libris of Henrique Botelho.

Work attributed to Hyginus de Stellis, Latin polygrapher (ca. 64 BC-17 AD), born in the Iberian Peninsula, according to some, or in Alexandria, according to others, a friend of Seneca, responsible for the Palatine library in Rome.

Main work by the Jesuit Alonso de Ovalle (1603-1651), historian and chronicler, born in Santiago de Chile, son of powerful Spanish landowners. The copy lacks the folding map of the province. The work printed in the same year in the Italian version, was only reprinted in 1888 (Santiago), with a circulation of 600 copies. The specimen has some imperfections, the most important of which are: excessive cropping, slight browning and handling; monogrammed stamp with a count's coronet, on the title page; the paper of the copperplate prints is of poor quality and some have small worm holes, most of them marginal. With the exception of the map, it is however complete, corresponding even to the collation indicated to us by Palau.

Deep knowledge of Latin and Greek languages; he participated in the Council of Trent where he was noted for his opposition to any kind of innovation; as High Inquisitor (1555) he practiced the greatest violence and cruelty. Original edition of his main work, the “Comments on the Pentateuch”, divided into five parts or books, the first printed by João Barreira and the others by João Blávio de Colónia. Each of the parts has its own title page and pagination, being autonomous as biblio-typographic species. The four books printed by João Blávio include, at the end, his printer's mark. Complete copy (with possible lack of some blank pages), a little disjointed, with signs of handling, censored in the first part: on the title page, five purge inscriptions (as well as two ownerships and two stamps, one of which was from the Franciscans of Balaguer); the main censure concerns the preface “Ad lectorem”, as in other copies, which, in addition to having several crossed out lines, presents a page (±14x14 cm) pasted on about 28 lines on the front of the page *iii. In the third part, some lines were also censored. Some worm holes, sometimes deep, but always marginal; occasional minor blemishes. Contemporary binding, full parchment, almost detached from the core and without endpapers, but retrievable.

The work tells the voyage around the world of the English navigator John Byron (1723-1786) who, between 1764 and 1766, commanded the frigate Dolphin, accompanied by the frigate Tamer, through the Pacific Ocean, in search of new continents, having returned to England less than two years after his departure. The translator included at the end a “Resumen histórico del primer viaje hecho al rededor del mundo, emprendido por Hernando de Magallanes, e llevado felizmente á termino por el famoso capitan español Juan Sebastian del Cano”, with its own title page, next to page 176. In his work, Byron highlights the encounter with the giants of Patagonia, in Tierra del Fuego (represented in the engraving next to the title page), previously mentioned by the Portuguese navigator, but never scientifically confirmed. The fold-out map represents the Strait of Magellan in detail. Very clean contemporary binding copy, complete with flexible parchment. Palau, 38230. Borba de Moraes, p. 138.

CONSTITVIÇOENS DO | ARCEBISPADO DE LIXBOA.- Lisboa: Germam Galharde Frences, 1537.- [10], LXXXV, [1] f.; 26 cm.- E., First constitutions of Lisbon, reformed by D. Afonso de Portugal (1509-1540), 10th archbishop, following the synod of 1536 in which the Church of Lisbon (and Portugal) replaced the Rite of Salisbury with the Roman Rite, in response to the proclamation of the Church of England by Henry VIII. Edition entirely composed in Gothic characters, with the exception of the title. The title page features a xilographic architectural framework, with the archbishop's coat of arms in the central reserve and the title at the base, inserted in a cartouche. This is followed by the “Tavoada destas constituições” (fol. [2] to [9]). The last preliminary sheet is part of the prologue. The text of the “Constituições” is developed on 85 sheets numbered from I to LXXXV. On the last sheet, with a blank verso, the colophon and an errata with eight lines. The copy, complete and solid, is excessively cropped, with the loss of the xilographic frame and the title (on the title page) and the marginal glosses on the pages of “Tavoada”. It was carefully treated (washed and reglued) and restored, namely on the title page and the last two sheets. The main text (85 f.) is clean and still has good margins. Recent red shagreen binding with triple fillets on the covers, roll on the squares, watered silk endpapers and top edge gilt. Anselmo, 613. BN (16th century), 418. Biblioteca de D. Manuel II, 253.
