18195367Mexico: Alejandro Valdes 1819/20. First editions. Small quarto pp. x 201 9: x 55. Medina 11897 & Palau 111216 Guridi was an important Mexican ecclesiastic and one of the two deputies sent by Mexico to the Cadiz Cortes of 1810. Both of these books printed separately but bound here together are replies to the "attack" made on the credibility of the apparition of the Virgin Mary to Juan Diego in 1531by the Spanish historian Munoz in 1817. Mexicans everywhere felt aggrieved by this effort by a Spaniard to demean their beloved national cult. Guridi leapt to the defense reprinting Munoz' pamphlet in toto and then refuting it point by point. Gomez Medina 11486 the other author also presents a defense of the Apparition. See Brading Mexican Phoenix for a complete discussion of these works. The Guridi book according to Medina has a frontis. portrait of the Virgin by de Oca which is not present in this copy. Very good copy in contemporary full slightly stained mottled calf binding. <br/><br/> Alejandro Valdes unknown books
