1614WRCAM40774Los Reyes i.e. Lima: Por Francisco del Canto 1614. 43528-31 i.e. 36-391176 leaves. Last five leaves in expert facsimile. Contemporary limp vellum. Light to moderate soiling of binding corner of rear cover chipped. Titlepage mutilated around edges affecting first portion of title; mounted on newer leaf. Second leaf clumsily repaired around edges not affecting text. Trimmed closely at top affecting text in some places. Light soiling. Good. An important Indian language work from the first and at the time only press in South America printed only twenty-eight years after the beginning of printing there and twenty-six years before the Bay Psalm Book was published. Del Canto the owner and operator of the only press in South America at the time was the second printer in Peru. He acquired his press directly from Antonio Ricardo the first printer in South America. This work begins with a grammar of the Quechua language followed by Quechua-Spanish and Spanish-Quechua dictionaries. The book is in a handy smaller format for use in the field. Medina says this book is "extraordinariamente raro" and it is lacking from many of the great collections. <br> <br> This work is generally credited to Del Canto the author of the introduction but parts of it may be by Gonzalez Holguin whose other publications on Peruvian Indian language were published in Lima in 1607 and 1608. Sabin attributes authorship however to Ludovico Bertonio. Only eight copies on OCLC. MEDINA LIMA 58. VARGAS UGARTE 79. PALAU 17729. SABIN 5020. JCB 3II:101. OCLC 6783843 251190642.

Vellum binding in contemporary style. Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés August 1478 - 1557 commonly known as Oviedo was a Spanish soldier historian writer botanist and colonist. Oviedo participated in the Spanish colonization of the West Indies arriving in the first few years after Christopher Columbus became the first European to arrive at the islands in 1492. Oviedo's chronicle Historia general de las Indias forms one of the few primary sources about it and introduced Europeans to the hammock the pineapple and tobacco as well as creating influential representations of the colonized peoples of the region. It is through the Historia that Europeans came to learn about the hammock pineapple tobacco and barbecue among other things used by the Native Americans that he encountered. The first illustration of a pineapple is credited to him. The Historia though written in a diffuse style furnishes a mass of information collected at first hand. With many interesting woodcuts like canoe o waka differents forms of houses different tools plants fuit-trees different forms of cactus pineapple etc. The second part is: CONQUISTA DEL PERU.

1918List2982Peru and Panama 1918. Approximately 364 photos; album and unmounted photos silver prints cyanotypes and printing-out-paper prints. Photos measure 3 x 4 to 8 x 10 inches with about half measuring 3 x 5 ½ inches. Some with photographer’s hand-stamp or credit in pencil; others with manuscript notations verso or recto; some captions to album pages. Offered in partnership with Daniel / Oliver.<br /> <br /> Rich and extensive photographic archive of Walton T. Burres of Stockton California showing his time in Peru c. 1904 as an amateur explorer and doctor for the Inca Mining and Rubber Company and his later work in Panama c. 1918 with the Rockefeller Foundation’s International Health Division.The collection consists of a large number of loose photos acquired by the gallery in 2021 and a recently discovered photo album showing some of the same subjects and containing a few duplicate images some printed in different sizes or formats as well as hundreds of previously unseen prints. Together this material makes up the largest extant archive of Burres’s photographic work. Though his work was published at the time both in Peruvian and American publications much of it was lost when he dropped it in a river that he was attempting to ford.<br /> <br /> Burres was educated at California’s Cooper Medical College the first school of medicine on the West Coast and was a prominent member of the Stockton community before sojourning to Peru around 1900 to help the Inca Mining and Rubber Company address the deadly diseases endemic to the region such as malaria and yellow fever. To encourage economic infrastructure in remote areas the Peruvian government began granting land concessions to any company that would build roads bridges or river ports. As a result the Inca Mining Company an American outfit based in Tirapata purchased the rights to mine gold along the upper Inambari River in 1896 and soon became the richest gold producer in Peru.<br /> <br /> A large portion of Burres’s Peruvian images document his 1903–1904 excursion from Arequipa 150 miles into “rubber country.†The journeys were well-recounted in U.S. papers and a number of the anecdotes described in print are seen in the present images.<br /> <br /> There are many dynamic views of Burres and his party trekking through the dense jungle and summiting the high mountains as well as shots of flora fauna and native Peruvians. Burres’s travel companions for this trip included the famed adventurer Harriet Chalmers Adams later dubbed “America’s greatest woman explorer†by the New York Times. Adams and her husband Frank both fellow Stocktonians joined up with Burres during their own multi-year expedition through South America. There are a number of portraits of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Adams though it is possibly another person.<br /> <br /> Other Peruvian material includes numerous views of Cusco Arequipa and the surrounding environs including a beautiful interior of a chapel a Martin Chambi-esque detail shot of a stone wall and portraits of local townspeople some identified as Quechua people. There are a number of lush large-format cyanotypes rich printing-out-paper views and many handsome small-format panoramas. These were printed on Inca Mining Company surplus stationary which speaks to the makeshift nature of photo-development under the circumstances. One particularly striking image shows the top of Misti volcano barely visible above the clouds. This image was reproduced in Burres's account of his travels published in 1909 in Outing magazine.<br /> <br /> The photographs from Burres’s time in Panama document his more serious work as a virologist and health administrator in the area. One interesting photo shows a pair of recently-shot iguanas with a caption noting that “blood of these reptiles was found infected with Haemogregarina.†Another image is that of a new style of privy built from concrete and wire-mesh designed to better keep out rain water. There are also keenly-shot views of main streets and local culture in Los Santos Chiriquà and elsewhere including a number of humanistic group portraits taken at a girl’s school. unknown
In-16 p., (mm. 150x100), p. pergamena rigida antica, titolo ms. al dorso, 18 cc.nn., 324 cc.num., marca tipograf. al frontespizio e con alcune grandi iniziali figur. a vignetta, inc. su legno. Questa “seconda parte” è dedicata alla conquista del Peru (fino alla pacificazione effettuata da Gasca), delle Antille, del Chile e dell’America Centrale e anche al viaggio di Magellano e alla scoperta delle Molucche. “La prima parte de la cronica del gran regno del Perù, con la descrittione di tutte le provincie, e costumi, e riti, con le nuove città edificate..” fu scritta in lingua spagnola da Pedro Cieza de Leon. Come precisa Brunet, l’opera doveva essere composta da 4 parti ma solo la prima fu pubblicata (a Siviglia nel 1553; nella versione italiana, a Roma, 1555). La “cronica del regno del Peru” fu completata dallo storico spagnolo Francesco Lopez de Gomara, con la sua importante “Historia general de las Indias”, tradotta in italiano, in prima ediz. a Roma nel 1556, col titolo “La historia generale delle Indie Occidentali..” e, in seconda ediz. a Venezia, 1557, col titolo “La seconda parte delle historie generali dell’India..”. “Francisco Lopez de Gomara (1512 - 1560?), ecclesiastico, studiò ad Alcalà, venne a Roma, e fu poi in America cappellano di Ferdinando Cortés. Nel 1552 fu pubblicata a Saragozza la sua famosa "Historia general de las Indias".. Nella narrazione il Lopez de Gomara ha buon senso nell’utilizzare le fonti e nell’interpretarle; è colto, e scrive con correttezza e precisione.. Nel 1553 la stampa e la vendita del libro vengono proibite da Filippo II. La "Historia" fu subito tradotta in italiano, in latino e in francese” (nel XVI secolo se ne fecero circa venti edizioni). Così Enciclopedia Treccani,XXI, p. 486. Cfr. Palau,IV, p. 264/265 che cita le numer. ediz. e traduz. - Brunet,II,67 - The Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages”,1038 cita la prima ediz. illustrata in spagnolo del 1555: “The "Historia" of Lopez de Gomara is a classic work in the history of America. It contains a wealth of information about the Spaniards in the West Indies, Gran Colombia, Peru and Mexico”.

Al verso dei frontespizi piccoli timbri di possesso. Interessante e poco nota opera di fisica sperimentale e sienze naturali del gesuita spagnolo Francesco Perez (1720-1807 Bologna), matematico e missionario in Ecuador, Quito, fino alla espulsione dei gesuiti dai domini spagnoli (1767); in Italia si dedicò alla scrittura di opere scientifiche che vennero pubblicate dopo la soppressione della Compagnia nel 1773. Il suo nome è legato anche all’invenzione di strumenti scientifici, tra cui uno per misurare gli angoli. Oggetto del trattato il Barometro, “istrumento in grado eminente per condurre l’intelletto alla cognizione dell’elemento dell’aria”, e il Termometro, strumenti dei quali si ricordano gli inventori, i metodi costruttivi, le evoluzioni tecniche; si esaminano le differenze tra aria e atmosfera, “l’elasticità” della materia eterea, l’atmosfera equinoziale dell’America, specialmente delle montagne e vulcani dell’Ecuador (Caraburo, Oyambaro, Pichincha Pambamarca ecc.) dove l’atmosfera fu misurata con l’aerometro, come ampiamente si descrive nella seconda parte. Un capitolo, in fine, è dedicato all’atmosfera europea.

18680012009Macao Macau China Havana Cuba: Chinese Coolie Ship Manifest. Fair with no dust jacket. 1868. Non-Book. On offer is a tremendous San Salvadorian ship manifest recording the names and information of 622 Chinese men who were transported from the port of Macau to Havana Cuba to complete their indentured servitude as coolies working for Cuban sugar plantation owners. This manifest is for the January 25 1868 sailing of the Peruvian Galley the America. This sailing was captained by Cpt Ferreiro for the Compania Maritima del Peru. This sailing was under the San Salvadorian flag. The ship arrived in Macau on May 20 1868. 610 coolies departed Macau and 607 arrived in Cuba. This manifest was signed on January 241868 by Henrique W. Pearce a Macao-based emigration agent. It was also signed the day before departure on January 241868 by The Consul General of His Majesty José de Alguilar. The America had previously been used as a coolie ship called Red Rose under the British flag and under the Italian flag as the America. The America completed a total of seven coolie voyages transporting a total of 4703 Chinese passengers. The Chinese coolie trade a system of indentured labor that targeted young poor Chinese men operated from 1847-1874. Throughout this period African slavery was slowly being abolished around the world. The coolie trade was initiated by Britain and was eventually dominated by both Britain and the United States of America. Chinese coolie laborers were sent to work in British American and Spanish colonies and the nature of the trade changed throughout its 27-year operation due to social and political pressures. The coolie trade took place in large part between the shipping port in Macao now a part of China then under Portuguese rule and Havana Cuba then under Spanish control. As Macau was under Portugese rule at the time of the coolie trade they transported coolies on their vessels frequently and many of the manifests were written in Portuguese and/or Spanish.

Tra i primi esploratori della Colombia, Pedro Cieza de Leon (1518-60) arrivò in Perù attorno al 1550, e proprio in quell’anno venne nominato “Crónista de Indias” per conto della corona spagnola. In tale veste iniziò la redazione della prima parte delle Historie, ai fatti l'unica che abbia visto la luce.. L’opera è pregevole per essere il frutto di una commistione di fonti diverse: l'Autore attinse a documenti archivistici regi sui possedimenti peruviani ma si basò anche sulle versioni fornite dagli indigeni; inoltre, riportandone i nomi, egli produsse pure un importante documento antropologico. Nella versione italiana l’opera uscì completata dalla traduzione della storia delle Indie realizzata da Francisco Lopez de Gòmara. Cfr. Brunet,II,67: “Ouvrage rare; il devait avoir quatre livres, mais le premier seul a paru” - Palau,II,198 che cita le varie ediz. e traduzioni, a partire dalla prima spagnola (Sevilla, 1553) - Sabin, 13052: “One of the most remarkable literary productions of the age of Spanish Conquest in America” - The Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages,297.

Palau 267; Sabin 41987. <br> Melchor Linan y Cisneros was the Archbishop of Lima for thirty years and served as viceroy of Peru from 1678-1681. He argued for ecclesiastical liberty against the attempts of his successor Melchor de Navarra Duke of Palata's attempts to curtail clergical abuses. Some of the parish priests and friars were exacting oppressive church taxes against the indigenous population. This book's author Juan Luis Lopez served as the Duke of Palata's secretary and attempts to defend the Duke of Palata's curbs on clergical abuses. "The Archbishop of Lima Melchor de Linan y Cisneros had objected to a decree issued by the Viceroy of Peru Melchor de Navarra y Rocalfull Duke de la Palata for the suppression of certain ecclesiastical abuses.

18305862Various places in Peru 1830. Good. Seven broadsides and bifolia totaling 14pp. with each sheet measuring approximately 11.5 x 7.5 inches. Previously bound with stabholes and residue at left margin. Moderate worming affecting some text but not sense. Minor tanning and soiling. A group of seven highly ephemeral and seemingly unrecorded military broadsides and bifolia reports from Peru dating to the country's war with Gran Colombia from 1828 to 1829 and just after. The conflict stemmed from a border dispute after independence was gained in 1820 and 1821 with the boundary left relatively undefined. The Armistice of Piura formally agreed in September 1829 recognized Guayaquil and its surrounding area as a part of Gran Colombia and accorded Peru recognition of its modern-day northern provinces. The documents present here include an exhortation by Peruvian President Agustin Gamarra to support the prospective peace a report on the state of the Peruvian treasury in Trujillo during the midst of the conflict a bulletin concerning military developments in April 1829 addressed to the armed forces a patriotic broadside printed in Arequipa and a congratulatory address to the army printed on the day of armistice.
