A propos de cet article

Octavo, pp [xvi], 488. Originally published in 1646. The author was a native of Queretaro in Mexico, becoming the first criollo (native-born) provincial of his order (Franciscan): the name is sometimes spelled Larrea. Beristain (v, 196) describes him as "historiador veraz exacto y de estilo fluido, claro y conciso." Much material on the Tarascans -- their customs and rites, as well as the ecclesiastical history of the province of Michoacan. Title page and first few leaves (first gathering) badly foxed, as well as final few; ex-libris Academy of Franciscan History, with deaccession statement, all on title-page. Otherwise text is clean and fresh. Bound in later half morocco over marbled boards, with marbled end-papers, raised bands, title piece. Very good. N° de réf. du vendeur 6732
