1617WRCAM34089Madrid: Por la viuda de Alonso Martini 1617. 4344 leaves plus several pen and ink illustrations. Folio. Later speckled calf maroon gilt morocco label spine gilt. Covers with slight wear and scuffing at extremities. Faint dampstain in lower margin. Occasional contemporary manuscript notes and marks. Overall internally clean. Very good. A comprehensive list of rules addressed to ship captains governing the proper provisioning of Spanish vessels based in Sicily and Naples both then under Spanish rule. The text includes a bevy of rules expense guidelines and more and offers a fine window into the near-obsessive attention to detail that marked the administration of the Spanish military at the peak of its powers. <br> <br> Of particular interest are several pen and ink sketches that include tools a ship in dry dock and storage bins as well as two much larger harbor plans of Palermo and Naples. Each drawing is keyed to a printed description of the location and shows fortifications lookouts and in the case of Naples dormitories. These are charming and well accomplished. <br> <br> Good evidence of the Spanish navy at work at the height of empire with rules which certainly applied to vessels in the Americas as well. Extremely rare. Por la viuda de Alonso Martini unknown books
