RODRIGUEZ, Pe. Manuel, S.J.- EL | MARAÑON | Y | AMAZONAS. | HISTORIA | DE LOS DESCVBRIMIENTOS, | ENTRADAS, Y REDVCCION DE NACIONES. | TRABAJOS MALOGRADOS DE ALGVNOS | CONQVISTADORES, Y DICHOSOS DE OTROS, | ASSI TEMPORALES, COMO ESPIRITVALES, | EN LAS DILATADAS MONTAÑAS, | Y MAYORES RIOS DE LA AMERICA.- En Madrid: en la Imprenta de Antonio Gonçalez de Reyes, 1684.- [12], 444, [7, 1 br.] p.; 28 cm.- E. Rare first edition of an important title for the history of the New World, reporting, among other unpublished facts, the discovery of the Amazon. Copy without the Historical "Compendio historial, e indice chronologico pervano, y del nvevo Reyno de Granada..." (24 pages), which is usually found at the end, but which is missing in most of the copies. According to Borba de Moraes (II, p. 213), the rarity of the edition is due to the fact that it was published without the permission of the Congregation of Propaganda Fide, against the express guidance of Pope Clement X, for which it was included in the Index. Copy slightly trimmed, with some browning and handling. Tear, with lack of support, on the outer margin of the C6 sheet (p. 35/36), without affecting the text. Oval stamp on the title page of the Jesuit College of Córdoba(?); some old ownerships deleted on the same page. Full parchment binding, not contemporary (reconstructed), with new endpapers, missing one of the silk ties. Palau, 273201, does not mention the historic Compendium, on the body of the record, only mentioning it in the commentary on the copy of Salvá (3389) and ...otro que estuvo en poder de Murillo. Sabin, 72524. Sommervogel, II, 1965, 1-2. Borba de Moraes, pp. 743/744.
