Italian translation of one of the author's most important works.

The text begins on p. 31, but the total number of preliminary pages is 30, and the collation by signatures is correct. Bilingual text, printed in two columns, in Italian and Spanish. Copy slightly trimmed, but clean. Reused flexible parchment binding. Palau, 46958. Salvá, 3289.

MACHADO, Simão, O.F.M.- COMEDIAS | PORTVGVESAS. | Feitas pello excellente Poeta, | Symão Machado. | Comedias do Cerco de Dio. | primeira, & segunda parte. | Comedias da Pastora Alfea. | primeira, & segunda parte. | Nesta vltima impressaõ, enmendadas, & acrescenta- | das, dous Entremeses, & quatro Loas famosas.- Em Lisboa: Por Antonio Aluarez. Anno de 1631.- [2], 94, [12] f.; 19 cm.- E.
Apparently it is an unusual variant of the second printing, with the same date, of the comedies by Simão Machado (f. 1601-1640), a Franciscan religious, of whom little is known, who used, as a rule, the name of Fr. Bonaventura Machado. In fact, the title page does not correspond to the description by Inocêncio (I, p. 388 and VIII, p. 403) which indicates “Nesta segunda impressão...”, nor to the copy of the Samodães catalogue (1921), which reproduces a different frontispiece. The collation is also slightly different from those indicated in these two references, as it only includes two preliminary sheets. In the variants with the indication “Second impression” there are three preliminary sheets, the second integrating a dedication to D. Francisco de Sá de Meneses, Count of Penaguião. But the copy corresponds exactly to the description of the copy of the BNP. The addressee is also mentioned on the frontispiece of the reproduction of Samodães. However, this dedication disappears, both on the preliminary pages and on the title page of the present variant. Copy slightly cropped, with slight browning and occasional minor blemishes. Marginal restoration on the last leaf; two small amendments with ferrogallic paint, causing browning (f. F6 and H2). Title page with two small patched faults (± 28x21 mm), probably to remove stamps from the Livraria de Alcobaça (one still preserved on the front of the second folio). Ex-libris by Aníbal Fernandes Tomás (but not mentioned in his bookstore catalogue). Binding of the period, entirely flecked sheepskin, slightly worn, retaining the original endpapers on plain paper.

Acabouse aos XXV. dias Dabril. Anno. 1559.- [4], CLXXIIII, [2], LIIII f.; 19 cm.- E.
First edition of a classic work of devotion, written in Portuguese, by a Dominican who left us a vast work that was reprinted multiple times, at least, until the end of the 19th century. Luís de Granada (1504-1588) lived in Portugal for the last 47 years of his life, he was confessor to King D. João III, Queen D. Catarina and King Cardinal D. Henrique. Bibliographer António Palau dedicates more than a thousand entries to it in about 40 pages of his “Manual del librero hispano-americano”. The text is almost entirely printed in Gothic rotunda characters. The thirteen sermons have their own title page and pagination. On the back of the last pages of each of the parts, the mark of the printer João Blávio de Colónia. Copy with slight browning, sometimes accentuated and occasional old marginal notes, harmed by the edging. Recent binding, full rigid parchment. Samodães, 1458. Palau, 107874. BN (16th century), 439.

The work, dedicated to D. João da Silva, 2nd count of Portalegre, about whose author (fl. 16th century) we know little, besides being a native of Pavia (Italy), it is innovative in the organization and structure of armies, being significant the fact that it was printed in Lisbon, although in Castilian, and not in Madrid or in another Spanish city. Includes three xilographies: the printer's mark (on the title page), an armillary sphere (2nd sheet verso) and a crowned lion (5th sheet verso). Handwritten ownership crossed out on the title page and at the beginning of the “Tabla de los autores”. Otherwise, an example with slight browning, but generally clean.

The work describes the pastoral journey of the Archbishop of Goa to the ancestral community of Christians in S. Tomé, in the Malabar Sierra, who followed the traditional Syrian-Chaldean rite. It is therefore of the greatest importance for the history of this Christian Church of the East, of which little or nothing was previously known. The author (†1628), born in Beja, professed in 1591 in the Hermits of Saint Augustine, in the Monastery of Graça in Lisbon; in 1602 he integrated an embassy to the Shah of Persia whose account can be read in book III of the present “Journey”; shortly afterwards he was appointed Bishop of Cyrene and Apostolic Nuncio to the Shah of Persia. As usual, the volume includes, with its own title page and independent foliation, the “Synodo diocesano da Igreja e Bispado de Angamale dos antigos christãos de Sam Thome das Serras do Malauar das partes da India Oriental” ([2], 62 f.) , followed by the “Missa de qve vsam os antigos christãos de São Thome do Bispado de Angamale...” ([9] f.). Copy a little trimmed, especially to the head of the page, sometimes with tangential damage to some current titles and numbering of the pages. However, it is complete and very clean. 20th century binding, in natural shagreen. Inocêncio, I, p. 151. Samodães, 1454. Auvermann, 542. Arouca, G 122.

STEDMAN, Cap. John Gabriel.- Narrative of a five years’ expedition, against the revolted negroes of Surinam, in Guiana, on the wild coast of South America; from the year 1772, to 1777: elucidating the history of that country, and describing its productions, Viz. Quadrupeds, birds, fishes, reptiles, trees, shrubs, fruits, & roots; with an account of the Indians of Guiana, & negroes of Guinea.- London: Printed for J. Johnson, 1796.- 2 vols.: il.; 30 cm.- E.
John Gabriel Stedman (1744-1797), Dutch officer, participated as a volunteer in the expeditionary corps sent to suppress the slave revolt in Suriname. His account of the events was remarkably successful and was used as an argument by the abolitionist movement. The collation of the two volumes is as follows: I - 1 front. engrav., XVIII, 407, [8, 1 br.] p.: 40 engravings (ie 58); II - 1 front. engrav., IV, 404, [7, 1 br.] p.: 40 engravings (ie 64). The two volumes are thus complete, with 79 copperplate prints and a folding aquatint (numbered from 1 to 80), printed in black, according to the indices, but including a further 42 other repeated proofs, hand-coloured, not mentioned in the indexes. All engravings in black (shorter, ± 275 mm) are mounted on sheets with the original format and show some browning. The colour engravings, with the edges format (±298 mm), are very clean. All prints retain the original cellophane separators, with browning. Traces of wormholes and some imperfections on the hinge of the front cover of volume II. White stamp by Antonio de Almeida Correa, in both volumes. Good contemporary bindings, entirely crushed morocco, slightly worn, with labels by the London bookbinder C. Kalthoeber (1752-1819); double square ornamental borders on the covers, rolls on the squares and the gilt edges. Abbey (Travel), 719. Sabin, 91075. Cundall (West Indies), 1715.

MIRANDA, Francisco de Sá de.- AS OBRAS | DO CELEBRADO | LVSITANO, | O doutor Frãcisco de Sá de Mirãda. | Collegidas por Manoel de Lyra. | Dirigidas ao muito illustre Senhor dom Ie- | ronymo de Castro, &c. | [gravura xilográfica com as armas de D.

Original edition of the works of Sá de Miranda (1481-1558), considered the greatest Portuguese poet of the 16th century, right after Camões, and perhaps the one who most echoed Renaissance ideas to us, with the introduction of new literary forms being significant, namely prose comedy, the new meter, the sonnet, the eclogue, etc. The edition was published posthumously, nearly 30 years after the author's death. The copy corresponds to the collation indicated by Anselmo: the title page (blank verso) bears the coat of arms of D. Jerónimo de Castro, in copperplate printing; there is a folio with the licenses (f.) and the permit (v.); the following sheet includes the dedication (f.), two poems, a sonnet by Jerónimo de Morais and a “carmen” by Sebastião Alfaro (v.); the fourth folio contains a sonnet by D. Manuel de Portugal (f.) and the imprint of the printer Manuel de Lyra (v.) which is repeated on folio 162 (X2 v.). The text itself runs between sheets 1 and 186 (with numerous foliation errors), that is, between folios A1f. and Z8v; on the back of sheet 132 another mark of the printer Manuel de Lira, different from the one described above. At the end we find two folios (¶1 and ¶2) with the “Taboa (or Tavoada) das Rhimas do Autor”, which occupies four pages; there follows a folio such as “¶Auto de approuação these works” (f.) and the errata (v.), with the last blank folio that should complete the section missing from the copy. Copy slightly trimmed, but clean, possibly washed, with the gilt edges. Ex-libris by Walter Corrêa da Sá e Benevides. 20th century binding, full morocco, signed "Bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, London"; squared double fillet with florets in the corners, on the squares, gold closed panels on the spine, roll on the squares and double fillet in the thickness of the folders (protection case).

A collection of letters from Jesuit missionaries from the East addressed “a los de la misma compañia de Portugal” with the aim of awakening new missionary vocations in the Ignatian confreres. Reprint, greatly enlarged, of the original edition, also in Castilian, published in Coimbra, by João Álvares, in December 1555, just three years (and 10 days) after the death of St. Francis Xavier. The edition was remarkably successful, counting at least 12 re-editions in Portugal by the end of the 16th century. It contains 24 letters written between 1557 and 1561, from Goa, Daman, Vasai, Cochin, Malacca and Mozambique, but also from Japan (4 letters), not only to Portugal, but also to Goa, Ethiopia and Mozambique. Six letters from Fr. Luís Fróis, one of the great names of the apostolate of the East, but also of other missionaries such as Cosme de Torres, Gaspar Vilela, Baltazar Dias, Gonçalo Rodrigues, Luís de Gouveia, etc. On the last page there is a colophon surmounted by a xilography engraving with the imprint of the printer Claude Bornat. Very clean copy, slightly trimmed, covered in excellent binding, entirely in Jansenist morocco, with decoration on the squares, signed “Brugalla 1953”, Emilio Brugalla (1901-1987) considered the best Spanish bookbinder of his generation.

Taking into account the quality of the binding, it is reasonable to attribute the origin of the copy to a high dignitary of the court or the Patriarchal, close to the author. Inocêncio, II, 413 and IX, p. 117.
