Lima: Con licencia del Real Govierno, 1739. Folio. [7] ff., 1–138, 264–338, 139–614 [i.e., 146], 58 pp.

Bishop Agustin Rodríguez Delgado of La Paz called the Third Synod in 1738 and here publishes the measures ("constituciones") that were adopted and then became part of the canon law in force. Topics addressed include obligation to teach church doctrine, the sacraments, celebration of mass, burials, true and false religion, residences and benefices, conduct of a virtuous life, wills and testaments, and a variety of other do's and don'ts.
    Searches of NUC, WorldCat, COPAC, and CCPBE locate only six copies in U.S. institutions, none in Britain or Ireland, three in Spain, and an incomplete copy in Chile.
    Evidence of readership: An early reader has written "ojo" ("pay attention") in sepia ink in several margins and a 19th- or 20th-century reader has in pencil commented on changes in practice or expressed surprise at the content of certain passages.
    Curiously, none of the bibliographies call for a frontispiece engraving and only one among the U.S. and Chilean copies has one (Bridwell Library, Southern Methodist University); but all three copies in Spain have an engraving of Our Lady of the Peace. None is present here.
    
    Sabin 16070; Medina, Lima, 924; Vargas Ugarte, Impresos peruanos, 1466. Contemporary limp vellum with remnants of ties; may lack a frontispiece. A clean, crisp, and broad-margined copy.

1692 Spanish Conquest of Mexico Solis Aztec Hernan Cortes Montezuma Cortez MAPS

"The fleet was destroyed at the instance of the soldiers, that Cortes alone might not be obliged to make good the payment of the ships, but the troops."
– Solis, History (Townshend translation, 1770)

A famous book on Spanish conquests – one of the most important European sources on Latin American history. Antonio de Solis's "Historia de la Conquista de Mexico" was extremely popular in both Europe and in the Americas and was known by important colonial figures in Latin and European colonies. It deals, mainly, with Hernando Cortez and his command of invading forces of Moctezuma II and the Aztecs. Specific interactions include:
· Cortez sailing from Trinidad to Havana, difficulties in voyages
· Cortez at Cozumel, organizing his troops
· Aztec opposition at the River of Grijalva
· Spanish attempts to make peace with Cazique of Tobasco
· Accounts of Moctezuma's army and troop sizes… Read More
