18167461Mexico City: Mariano Ontiveros 1816. First edition. 16mo 15 x 10.5 cm pp 128 179-213 11. There is a gap as noted in the pagination which is present in all copies: it is a printer's error as nothing is missing from the text.The author notes that his book is in part a translation from the Italian of Clavijero and also drawn from the work of Fr. Xavier Francisco Alegre on the Jesuits in New Spain at that time unpublished. The first part is a vigorous defense of the Jesuit order still forbidden in Mexico. Thereafter he focuses on Baja California with much on Fr. Salvatierra Ugarte Piccolo et al. as well as the customs of the native tribes of the area and a description of the region. An appendix seeks to prove that Mexico had been originally evangelized by St. Thomas the apostle and perhaps even St. Matthew! Another appendix gives a thorough account of the distribution of the 1000 copies of this book of which only a handful of copies were for sale. Often described as one of the rarest California books it seldom appears at auction and presumably is quite rare in the trade.
