1617WRCAM34089Madrid: Por la viuda de Alonso Martini 1617. 4344 leaves plus several pen and ink illustrations. Folio. Later speckled calf maroon gilt morocco label spine gilt. Covers with slight wear and scuffing at extremities. Faint dampstain in lower margin. Occasional contemporary manuscript notes and marks. Overall internally clean. Very good. A comprehensive list of rules addressed to ship captains governing the proper provisioning of Spanish vessels based in Sicily and Naples both then under Spanish rule. The text includes a bevy of rules expense guidelines and more and offers a fine window into the near-obsessive attention to detail that marked the administration of the Spanish military at the peak of its powers. <br> <br> Of particular interest are several pen and ink sketches that include tools a ship in dry dock and storage bins as well as two much larger harbor plans of Palermo and Naples. Each drawing is keyed to a printed description of the location and shows fortifications lookouts and in the case of Naples dormitories. These are charming and well accomplished. <br> <br> Good evidence of the Spanish navy at work at the height of empire with rules which certainly applied to vessels in the Americas as well. Extremely rare. Por la viuda de Alonso Martini unknown books

150734851Barcelona Madrid Valldolid Spain Aranjuez Mexico City & elsewhere 170179. Small 4to folio & larger. Approximately 135 ff. <br><br>Explaining why manuscript cedularios were made in the era of the printing press is called for here and the answer is simple: The number of copies that were printed of any given royal cédula tended to be smaller than the number of lawyers clerks judges and other legal sorts who needed a copy. And within months of the issuance of the decree no printed copies were available for love or money. Owning the various editions of the Recopilación de leyes de Indias was insufficient for most cédulas related to => specific issues peculiar to one person place institution or event and such specificity is not included in the recopilaciones though the royal decrees provided good useful precedents to cite.<br>Â Â Â Â QED: Every colonial-era lawyer had to resort to maintaining his own cedulario.<br>Â Â Â Â This cedulario was assembled in Mexico during the 18th century probably around 1778 or 1780 for the use of a lawyer before the audiencia or perhaps for an audiencia judge or a judge's staff member. The decrees relate to a wide variety of topics: criminal cases the army and navy confiscation of property the use of stamped paper the royal treasury royal officials in Nicaragua cabildos proselytization of Indians commodities dress codes bigamy and other social matters in the regions of Mexico New Galicia and Guatemala. Of the 43 items 22 are printed decrees all but one printed in Spain and the remaining 21 are manuscript. Fifteen bear => true rather than stamped royal signatures: six are signed by Felipe V and nine are by Ferdinand VI. Of the 28 documents not signed by a king 17 are printed and 11 are manuscript. The documents are sewn and were once bound; binding removed some time ago. 18th-century numbering of documents shows that 10 documents were removed som time before the collection came into our hands. There are some stains a few holes at folds a few edges a little tattered nothing worse. => A sound and interesting collection. unknown books

18206451Mexico City: Alejandro Valdes 1820. First printing. Quarto 11pp. Spirited defence of freedom of the press critical of infringements that were being made by the restored crown of Ferdinand VII of laws that had been passed by the Spanish Cortes parliament during the liberal period during and right after the Napoleonic invasion. One of these infringements was the restriction of the press. Though it is anonymous the author signs himself "El Espanol imparcial" and a close reading indicates that he was probably living in Mexico. From an argument for a free press he ends up proposing independence for the American possessions. Not in Medina; Palau 19237: OCLC list 5 libraries with holdings.

1898WRCAM54953Puerto Principe Cuba 1898. Broadside 16 1/4 x 12 1/4 inches. Toned old folds and creases minor edge chipping short closed tear slight fold separations. Very good. A very rare possibly unique surviving example of a Cuban broadside dating from the month after the conclusion of the Spanish- American War. The war ceased with a truce between the United States and Spain on August 12 1898; the official end of the war came a few months later on December 10 when the two parties signed the historic Treaty of Paris. Here on September 10 in the interim between truce and treaty the outgoing Spanish colonial governor of the south- central Cuban city of Puerto Principe present-day Camagüey Emilio March y Garcia calls for reinforcement of the truce agreement that would ensure free and open commercial trade in the region in the face of continuing interference by Cuban insurgents. March y Garcia claims that the Cuban revolutionaries are illegally detaining people interrupting the cattle trade trampling property rights carrying arms in flagrant disregard for the law and more. The ARIZONA REPUBLICAN published an English translation of this proclamation in its September 26 1898 issue. The translation reads: <br> <br> "I hereby inform the commanders of insurgent bands who are pillaging in the neighborhood of this city; who not observing the agreement between the Spanish and American governments with regard to the freedom of commercial relations are illegally detaining the country people; who are obliging the land owners to procure special passes and permits in order to put in order their plantations and will not allow them either to sell their cattle under the absurd pretext that the estates are the property of the nominal Cuban state and that its government alone can distribute and sell them and turn their products to what uses it sees fit thus trampling under foot the rights of property whereas on the part of this government the most absolute liberty in making contracts has been allowed and will be allowed in the future thus demonstrating the respect it has for the rights of all persons within its jurisdiction. I must call to notice with real sorrow that if these towns are suffering almost the horrors of starvation it is the result of the measures adopted by the chiefs of the insurgent bands who are impeding free traffic by forbidding the entry of all kinds of provisions especially cattle into the towns. In view of what I have already explained I consider it necessary to publish the following warnings: Article 1. I repeat my order of August 23 last permitting free entry and exit to all towns of this province subject to my authority and the most absolute freedom of trade between all the inhabitants of the province. Article 2. The prohibition to enter towns with arms remains in force and whoever is found with arms in his possession will be punished in accordance with the laws." <br> <br> Don Emilio Augusto March y Garcia Mesa was a career Spanish military commander who spent at least three stretches of time in Cuba the last as military governor of Puerto Principe during the Spanish defeat in the Spanish- American War. He also served as the colonial governor of Puerto Rico and general captain of Arago the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. <br> <br> The present broadside is exceedingly rare and quite possibly unique with no copies listed in OCLC and no records at auction. unknown books
