186878800México: Imprenta de José M. Lara 1868. Some chipping in lower front spine o/w very good copy. 15.5cm. Dedicado a los Socios del culto perpetuo de Sr. San Jose x118p frontis pict. wrps Frontis lithography by Iriarte. The author was the famous archbishop of Rio de La Plata. b. 1727 Aragon Spain. Su nombre es José Antonio por parte de su padre se apellida Campos y por parte de su madre Julián. He was part of the Orden de los Frailes Carmelitas. His first work was published in 1766 in Spain by Francisco Medina. He arrived in Buenos Aires and was appointed archbishop of the Rio de la Plata in 1780. Eximio teólogo escritor consumado se estilo sencillo fluido elegante y de conceptos claros. Conocedor profundo de la teología manejaba igualmente las Sagradas Escrituras los Santos Padres los autores profanos y clásicos. Muestra de ello son las Pastorales que en diferentes ocasiones y con varios motivos publicó para edificación de sus fieles para el arreglo y dirección de su diócesis. El Virrey Vértiz proyectaba ya desde 1781 la edición de sus Pastorales por cuenta del Erario en la imprenta de Niños Expósitos; si bien este proyecto no se concretó Vértiz las difundió profusamente " haciendo encuadernar más de trescientos volúmenes de las mismas con destino sin duda a las oficinas y empleados públicos de la colonia y de la metrópoli. En los pocos años que duró su gobierno realizó una obra fecundísima. investía y su propósito de consagrar al cumplimiento de las mismas" todos los talentos de su inteligencia todas las energías de su voluntad y todas las fuerzas de su cuerpo". Propuso al Cabildo municipal su pensamiento de establecer un Colegio de Niñas Huérfanas; esta idea se vio concretada cuando el 21 de abril de 1782 se inauguró el mencionado instituto. Urgía también la terminación de las obras de la catedral iniciadas un siglo antes por el Obispo Mercadillo. Antes de ausentarse de Córdoba hacia su nuevo destino el Alto Perú logró terminar alhajar y consagrar la Catedral el 29 de abril de 1785. A su paso por Catamarca en 1786 fundó el edificio para Casa y Colegio de Huérfanas de dicha ciudad. La actividad que desplegó como Arzobispo de La Plata fue similar a la realizada en Córdoba. Falleció en la nombrada ciudad de La Plata hoy Sucre República de Bolivia el 25 de marzo de 1804. De él dice Angel Clavero: "San Alberto era un Obispo de celo ardiente un gobernante de exquisita prudencia un hombre que tenía clara visión del porvenir un milagro de actividad un varón preocupado por el bien espiritual y material de sus subordinados un sacerdote según el corazón de Dios un patriota sincero y un religioso manso y dulce". Doña Purificación Gato Castaño que realizó su tesis doctoral sobre el mismo personaje ha recopilado las obras de fray Antonio de San Alberto repartidas entre Argentina y Bolivia y las ha encasillado en cuatro bloques fundamentales: de carácter religioso-moral político pedagógico y de disciplina eclesiástica. Según la autora "merece la pena publicar todo ese material por una parte por ser ésta una forma de dar a conocer ese tramo de historia que nos es común con Hispanoamérica por tratarse de unos escritos que exponen una serie de proyectos educativos en gran parte desconocidos sobre todo en España y por tratarse de un material que al estar tan disperso en lugares tan distintos y tan distantes no fácilmente accesibles no están al alcance de cualquiera". Armando Sejas pondera por su parte en "Presentación del arzobispo San Alberto como pastor y educador del pueblo" la labor educativa y pastoral de José Antonio de San Alberto el fraile carmelita descalzo que a fines del período indiano propone una formación sacerdotal continua espiritual y pedagógica en Charcas donde fue arzobispo entre 1785 y 1804. En ese lapso San Alberto funda el convictorio de Oratorianos el colegio de Niñas Huérfanas de la Plata y otro colegio en Catamarca. También escribe numerosas cartas pastorales y diversos textos porque a su juicio las palabras en las cartas y los libros "son más permanentes y por lo mismo tal vez más vivas y más eficaces que las dichas en el púlpito para persuadir mover y conmover los corazones".

Testimonio's Tabula Americae. Limited to 980 copies of which this is 169. Spanish artillery Captain Antonio del RÃo's ca. 1745-ca. 1789 discovery of tangible evidence of an amazingly rich Maya past and this printed report were the beginning of the study of this truly lost civilization. In May 1786 upon the order of the Spanish Crown Governor and Brigadier General of the Royal Audencia of Guatemala Don José EstacherÃa sent RÃo to Chiapas to investigate rumors of an ancient city near Santo Domingo del Palenque and determine the origin of its inhabitants. Rio was preceded by other visitors to Palenque the most recent being two brief forays by José Antonio Calderón a local official and Spanish architect Antonio Bernasconi whose sparse observations prompted the order for the full-scale investigation by RÃo. The Spanish captain made up for his lack of antiquarian training with his zeal hiring seventy-nine Maya locals to assault with crowbars and axes the abandoned tree-engulfed seventh-century city of Palenque. In his report RÃo describes and comments on the hieroglyphs he saw. RÃo sent his manuscript report to Guatemalan Governor José EstacherÃa and it was preserved in Madrid. Almendáriz's original drawings were recently found in a private European collection and published: Estampas de Palenque not included here Madrid: Testimonio 1993. After the end of the Napoleonic Wars the author's manuscript and Waldeck's drawings re-emerged in a still mysterious manner to be published in England. Publisher Henry Berthoud bought the manuscript from a mysterious Dr. McQuy McQueen in Jamaica at the end of April 1822. Capitalizing on public interest in American indigenous cultures as well as in Romantic ruins Berthoud published Rio's work in hopes of a popular bestseller which might otherwise have been lost.Condition:A Fine copy.
