[Santafé de Bogota]: D. Nicolas Calvo, y Quixano, 1811. Small 4to. 47, [1] pp.
First printing of the first state constitution for any Latin American nation, in this case for the state in which Bogotá is located. This was written during the early, uncertain days of the Napoleonic occupation of the Spanish peninsula and captivity of the Spanish king. Political matters were wild and wooly with some viceroyalties experiencing harsh rule while others began to experience first experiments in self-government and democracy.
Posada, BIbliografia bogotana, 231; Palau 59632. Sewn as issued, without the wrappers. Minor soiling to title-page and last (blank) page. Old inked numbers at top of title-page.
A very good copy.
