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.

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.

Light to moderate scattered foxing throughout.

OCLC No. 11689841 locates only two copies of this imprint at institutions worldwide - one at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and one at the State University of New York at Buffalo. ~KM5~ 1.0P An early American edition of the popular 1785 John Payne translation of the Imitation of Christ Copinger 'On the English Translations of the Imitatio Christi' 1900 pp. 84-87. In the first paragraph of his lengthy preface Payne explains that he hoped in this translation to do 'some justice to the sense of the Original; which is almost lost in the loose paraphrase of Dean Stanhope' referring to Anglican George Stanhope's often reprinted 1698 English translation. However Payne's translation uses the King James Version wording for scriptural quotations within the work rather than the Vulgate edition of the Bible available to a Kempis in the fifteenth century. And Payne has edited out much from the original which he found overly 'monkish' or 'popish' including all of Book 4 dealing with the Roman Catholic Mass. The Imitation was written by Catholic monk Thomas Kempis circa 1380-1471 as four separate books completed between 1420 and 1427 at Mount Saint Agnes monastery in the town of Windesheim located in what is now the Netherlands.
