Three sections of the Monumenta Anglicana professionally rebound in two attractive volumes. The set is comprised of inscriptions from 1650-79 1680-99 and 1700-1715 seemingly published in reverse chronological order. The second volume is a first edition and advertised as 'intended as a specimen of a much larger work'. Indeed Le Neve went on to publish three more similar collections of epitaphs - including the two ensconced in the first volume - covering different historical periods. This first collection features the contemporary obituaries of the previous 15 years with some of the information being supplied by the stone masons before work was actually completed. The later 1718 publications but historically and chronologically earlier volumes deal with inscriptions from less than 100 years previously and all offer a fascinating insight into epitaphs long since weathered away. Spine labels are in French text is in English. With some lovely vignettes head and tail pieces and illuminated capitals throughout. Rebound in quarter cloth over marbled boards with leather spine labels. Externally really rather smart with wear to spine labels only. Internally firmly bound. Very light but frequent spotting throughout some occasional handling marks. Evidence of past worming to lower half of the entire first book of the second volume. Very Good W. Bowyer hardcover

Medina Mexico 5174; Palau 190159 First edition.<br />A dictionary of the Otomi language.</p><p>The author was the first to establish a proper system of characters which has been since retained.</p><p>Otomi is an Oto-Pamean language spoken by approximately 240000 indigenous Otomi people in the central altiplano region of Mexico. Otomi consists of several closely related languages many of which are not mutually intelligible. The word Hñähñu has been proposed as an endonym but since it represents the usage of a single dialect it has not gained wide currency. Linguists have classified the modern dialects into three dialect areas: the Northwestern dialects are spoken in Querétaro Hidalgo and Guanajuato; the Southwestern dialects are spoken in the State of Mexico; and the Eastern dialects are spoken in the highlands of Veracruz Puebla and eastern Hidalgo and villages in Tlaxcala and Mexico states.</p><p><strong>Condition:</strong> Engraved table leaf worn at fore-edge. Vellum with minor wear; lacking frontispiece plate as usual minor damp staining; edges speckled red ties damaged else about very good.</p> Puente del Espiritu Santo, Cuidad de Mexico.

176741578Mexico: Bibliotheca Mexicana 1767. Small 8vo. 12 ff. 160 pp. engr. leaf of errata lacks the engr. frontis. <br><br>Otomí is one of the principal languages spoken in Central Mexico and this work more than any other standardized its orthography; it is also the classic Otomí grammar and dictionary and is by a man some authorities believe to have been himself an Otomí Indian or at least of Otomí heritage. It was written during the mid-18th-century renaissance of linguistic study of the languages of Mexico and Palau considers it "muy rara." It is much rarer on the market in our experience than similarly important works in Nahuatl.<br>Â Â Â Â Both the engraved frontispiece which as often is lacking here and the handsome elaborately engraved errata leaf which is here present are signed by => the engraver Jose Francisco Gómez.<br>Â Â Â Â => The Bibliotheca Mexicana was the private press of the great bibliographer writer and secular cleric Juan Jose de Eguiara y Eguren.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Small round ownership stamp of Michael Mathes in upper inner corner of the verso of the title-leaf. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Medina Mexico 5174; García Icazbalceta Lenguas 55; Viñaza 356; Maggs Bibl.
