1905CA0060286iv pages with five facsimile indigenous maps. Size Royal Octavo 9 1/2" x 7". Issued in original wrappers. Volume five <i>Relaciones Geograficas de la Diocesis de Tlaxcala</i>. Manuscripts of the Real Academia de la Historia de Mardrid y del Archivo de Indias en Sevilla. Year 1580-1582. 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 unread else a very good copy.

Limited to 100 copies of which this is number 55.<br /><br />Gerónimo de Aguilar O.F.M. 1489-1531 was a Franciscan friar born in Écija Spain. In 1511 Aguilar left Panama on a caravel sailing to Santo Domingo accompanying the procurator Juan de Valdivia. They were shipwrecked near the Yucatán Peninsula due to bad weather but Aguilar along with a sailor from Palos in Spain Gonzalo Guerrero were two of fifteen survivors. Strong currents brought them in their ship's boat to the coast of the modern-day Mexican state of Quintana Roo. Aguilar and the others were captured by the local Maya and scheduled to be sacrificed to Maya gods. He and Gonzalo Guerrero eventually managed to escape later to be taken as a slave by another Mayan chief named Xamanzana.1 Here he and Guerrero were able to learn the language of their captors. Aguilar lived as a slave during his eight years with the Maya. Guerrero became chief in time of war for Nachan Kaan Lord of Chektumal married a rich Maya woman and fathered the first mestizo children of Mexico. Hernán Cortés invaded Mexico in 1519. Aguilar joined the expedition. Speaking both Maya and Spanish he and La Malinche who could speak Maya and Nahuatl translated for Cortés during the Conquest of Mexico. His usefulness in that capacity ended once La Malinche had learned Spanish. Aguilar died in 1531 in an unknown location. His house in Mexico City later became the home of the first printing press to operate in the New World.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Foster's stamp on front wrapper spine heal and corners bumped some age darkening to spine and edges else a very good to fine copy.

Sabin 72202 First edition.<br /><br />Francisco Xavier Mina Spanish revolutionist and filibuster was born at Idocín Navarre in northern Spain on December 3 1789. As a student at the University of Zaragoza in 1808 when his countrymen rebelled against French control he joined the Spanish liberals and quickly became a leading guerrilla. When Ferdinand VII returned to the Spanish throne and renounced the liberal constitution of 1812 Mina opposed him and was eventually forced to flee. In October 1814 he arrived in England where he became acquainted with General Winfield Scott of the United States and Father José Servando Teresa de Mier Noriega y Guerra an ardent Mexican liberal who encouraged Mina to strike at Ferdinand VII through an invasion of Mexico. Scott also is thought to have encouraged Mina and to have assured him of the support of the United States for an expedition to free Mexico from Spain. As a result of this encouragement Mina made preparations to form an expedition. On May 15 1816 he left Liverpool in the ship Caledonia expecting to attack Mexico. On June 20 1816 the Caledonia reached Norfolk Virginia. Mina left it there to proceed to Washington while the ship moved on to Baltimore. At Washington he presumably conferred with high officials but this is not certain. He proceeded then to Baltimore where merchants of that city were willing to gamble on the expedition by furnishing the ship Calypso and arms and munitions for the enterprise. In July Mina visited Philadelphia and in August he went to New York always enlisting aid for his cause. New York merchants gave him two vessels and supplies. By the end of August 1816 he was ready to sail but complications arose with the Spanish minister in Washington who was bringing pressure to bear on the United States to prevent the expedition. Two vessels the Caledonia and the Dolphin however were dispatched to Port-au-Prince on September 1 1816. Father Mier who was with Mina on the expedition was sent ahead on September 19 1816 to contact revolutionary forces in Mexico. Mina in the Calypso left Baltimore on September 26 bound for Port-au-Prince where he arrived on October 13 1816. After difficulties and delays including disease and desertion he was able to set sail from Port-au-Prince on October 27 with four vessels headed for Galveston to join Louis Michel Aury who was also planning an invasion of Mexico. Mina reached Galveston on November 22 with about 140 officers and men. After some bickering with Aury Mina was permitted to land and began to organize his forces. Mier meanwhile had been forced by bad weather to land in New Orleans and in early December left for Galveston with the information that aid and assistance could be raised in New Orleans probably with the proviso that Mina proceed to Pensacola rather than Mexico. Mina proceeded to New Orleans in February 1817 and conferred with his New Orleans associates but decided against an attack on Pensacola deploring the commercial character of such an expedition. He bought two ships the Cleopatra and the Neptune at New Orleans. On March 16 he was again at Galveston where he received the force of Colonel Henry Perry 100 men. An arrangement was made whereby Aury was to be naval commander of the expedition while Mina was to have command of the military. The invasion point of Mexico was to be Soto la Marina Tamaulipas. The expedition left Galveston Island on April 7 with a force of eight ships and 235 men. After stopping at the mouth of the Rio Grande for water the force reached the mouth of the Santander River on April 11. The troops were disembarked on April 15. Mina captured Soto la Marina without difficulty and proceeded inland. After many small victories over the Spanish all the while trying to restore unity among insurgent leaders he was defeated and captured at Venadito on October 27. He was taken to Mexico City tried and executed at Fort San Gregorio with twenty-five companions on November 11 1817 at the age of twenty-eight years.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />New cloth over boards with original label attached to spine spine reinforced with later fabric back-strip some toning to the pages throughout hinges tender else a good copy.

1957BOOKS008206xciii1195 pages with frontispiece illustrations bibliography and index. Quarto 11 3/4" x 8 1/4" issued in wrappers and rebound in quarter leather with gilt lettering to spine with original wrappers bound in. Introduction and notes by Lino G Canedo. Foreword by Antonine Tibsear. Franciscan Historical Classics Volume I. Limited to 750 copies. First published in Lima in 1651. Second edition.<br /><br />Fray Diego de Cordova Salinas lived in Lima 1591-1654. In 1620 he was appointed <i>notario apostolico</i> of the Franciscan Order with the task of collecting canonical information on the life and the virtues of friars who had died with a reputation for sanctity muertos en opinion de santidad. Already at this time he seems to have been commissioned to write the chronicle of the Franciscan provinces of Peru i.e. of all the Spanish possessions in South America. During the following decades he was busy with this collecting information and with composing biographies and relations some of them lost some preserved in manuscript others published by the author himself. All these works can be regarded as preparatory studies to his <i>opus magnum:</i> the <i>Cronica franciscana</i> printed in Lima in 1651. This work contains data on diverse subjects: geography ethnography ethnology history. Fray Diego however pays attention chiefly to the activities of the Franciscans and most especially to the lives and miracles of friars dead with a reputation for sanity having for these subjects quite a lot of good information including personal experiences. Thus his chronicle no doubt is of great interest for the student of Franciscan history. To other historians however it is of little use. The fact is that the author has the custom of copying often word by word his sources. Seeking in the <i>Cronica franciscana</i> for notices concerning the Inca period and the Spanish conquest or the viceregal government of Peru you will only find facts and opinions taken over from Father Acosta Antonio de Herrera Garcilaso de la Vega Solorzano Pereira and other authorities cited by the chronicler. This lack of originality is typical for the seventeenth-century chronicler. On the other hand Fray Diego usually informs us of his sources in a more satisfactory manner than is customary among his contemporaries inserting name of authors title of books chapters and often folio numbers as well.
