About This Item
(à la fin: Sevilla, Juan Cromberger), 1536. Folio. 235 numbered leaves. Later full vellum, gilt frame around the boards, ornamented spine with nerves (Almeida). Magnificent gothic printing by Juan Cromberger in Seville, of this extremely rare work of piety composed in Spanish at the request of a noble lady, doña Juana de Cárdenas, for the edification of the faithful, including passages on government: how the great lords should govern their constituents, whether wars could be waged justly, etc. This work, of which all editions are rare since its first publication in 1507, was reprinted several times in the first half of the 16th century. Both the title page, which is printed in red and black, and the last page are set in a handsome illustrated woodcut frame. Small stamp "T. Norton" on title page. A fine copy. Palau, 82329: "Vicente Barrantes insinuúa que el autor podría ser el franciscano Fr. Gutiérrez de Trejo".
