19451665Buenos Aires: Republica Argentina Ministerio de Guerra 1945. Very Good. 33 cm. Typed letter signed by Perón on recto with typed response to his recommendations dated July 30 1945 on verso; corresponding stamps to both sides. Light edgewear; vertical creasing and two rough holes to left margin. A bureaucratic letter from Perón referencing a case brought against an unidentified soldier dressed in civilian clothing who appeared at the home address of one Captain Dumon and either requested or was given 20 pesos for a particular but unstated purpose. The soldier failed to deliver the money to the third party for whom it was intended and the captain filed a complaint with the military authorities; this went to the Auditor General and triggered an investigation. However the captain failed to show up to identify the soldier in question and because the soldier was in civilian clothing the case was referred to civilian authorities.It is not entirely clear to us why Perón was involved in this seemingly minor case but it appears that he was brought in as part of the investigation and that this letter is his department's response. He became President of Argentina a little less than a year later. Republica Argentina Ministerio de Guerra hardcover

1905CA0061332xi pages with index. Royal Octavo 9 1/2" x 7". Issued in original wrappers. Volume one <i>Relaciones Geograficas de la Diocesis de Tlaxcala</i>. Manuscript 2.800 of the National Library of Madrid. First Edition.<br /><br />Modern scholarship continues to be deeply indebted to the labors of Francisco del Paso y Troncoso less for any extended completed studies or synthesis than for a lifetime of collecting historical materials of the greatest importance to continuing investigation. His activities in Europe during the 23 years he spent searching out copying and preparing for publication a vast store of prime documentary materials for the pre-Conquest and colonial history of Mexico have been abundantly documented. Paso y Troncoso saw his prime mission as twofold. First he proposed to gather and publish as complete a corpus of Sahagun documents as possible. His interest in the great Franciscan had stemmed from the days when Paso y Troncoso as a young man had helped Joaquin Garcia Icazbalceta prepare the latter's Bibliografia mexicana del siglo XVI. Second he expected to copy documentary source materials related to colonial Mexico an elaborate group of varied papers which he generically called "Papeles de Nueva Espana." In a letter from Madrid Paso y Troncoso outlined to the Secretary of Public Instruction his views and plans for the "Papeles de Nueva Espana". He mentioned that for various reasons the material had he had compiled for publication under that general title should be divided into series each according to the class of data it contained. Each series would begin with a volume 1 and subsequent volumes would include similar documents rather than being only a single series with diverse materials. Various circumstances frustrated Paso y Troncoso's dream of putting numerous volumes of several series each of the PNE into print. He published four relatively complete volumes and two partial volumes of Series 2. "Geography and Statistics." Complete were volumes 1 4 5 6 and partially complete were volumes 3 and 7. At Paso y Troncoso's death various works were in the printing houses of Spain. Most of these volumes seem to have been lost or dispersed. Only volume 1 of series was published Salazar's Cronica de Nueva Espana. Several later hands have dipped into the mass of material Paso y Troncoso compiled for PNE and have utilized his transcripts or copies for publication.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Spine and edges sunned edge wear with some small tears front heal hinge beginning to tear unread else about very good.

1942CA0253xiii288errata pages with plates figures maps 2 folding and index. Small folio 11 3/4" x8" bound in original wrappers. First edition.<br /><br />Pátzcuaro is a large town and municipality located in the state of Michoacán. The town was founded sometime in the 1320s at first becoming the capital of the Tarascan state and later its ceremonial center. After the Spanish took over Vasco de Quiroga worked to make Pátzcuaro the capital of the New Spain province of Michoacán but after his death the capital would be moved to nearby Valladolid today Morelia. Pátzcuaro has retained its colonial and indigenous character since then and has been named both a "Pueblo Mágico" and one of the 100 Historic World Treasure Cities by the United Nations. In 1538 the Spanish established their settlement in Pátzcuaro founding the Diocese of Michoacán with Vasco de Quiroga as first bishop. Pátzcuaro was made the capital of the new Spanish province. The 1540s saw a repopulation of the area with Bishop Vasco de Quiroga convincing many of the Indians to return and brought in a number of Spanish families. For this Vasco de Quiroga is considered to be the founder of modern Pátzcuaro. He renamed the city as the City of Michoacán which was confirmed by royal decree in 1553 with Pátzcuaro receiving its current coat of arms. The cathedral was constructed over the temple dedicated to the goddess Cueráppari. Vasco de Quiroga wanted to build an ambitious cathedral here with five naves but this was declared unacceptable by the Spanish crown and only one of the naves was built. It remains to this day. Pátzcuaro remained the largest city in the Spanish province until about ten years after Vasco de Quiroga's death. <br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Edge wear with some chips spine ends chipped front hinge beginning corners bumped else a good to very good copy.
