From the library of a Michigan family, and in their possession for several decades. Manuscripts from the New World are rare to the international market. Spain continued its calligraphic tradition down to modern times, and the colony of Nueva España (the region north of the isthmus of Panama, which was under Spain s control from the sixteenth century onwards) followed this, continuing to produce finely handmade books centuries after the introduction of printing there. The author here, Manuel de Quiròs y Campo Sagrado, was a Mexican author, who is recorded as also producing a collection of poems in honour of Carlos III of Spain. No other copy of the present work is known to us. It opens Señor Dios de los Exercitos … (p.1), and ends … Aaèsta ygnorante ydea daràèl (p. 67).
