Item description from seller

1553, Medina del Campo por Guillermo de Millis, Con Preuilego Real, folio, 336 leaves (i.e. pp672) + (xx), engraved title-page printed in red and black, full contemporary vellum lettered in ink on spine, remains of leather ties. "This interesting chronicle is the work of Florian de Ocampo (c. 1499-1555), a native of Zaragoza, and one of Nebrija's pupils at Alacala, who became successively chronicler of Castile, chronicler to Charles V (1539), and Canon of Zamora (1547). That is to say, he had edited the four parts of the Cronica de Espa?±a which had been compiled in manuscript by Alonso the Sage, and wrote the original text of the Five First Books of the General Chronicle of Spain as published in 1553. The work comprises the history of Spain since the flood, to the time of the Carthaginian occupation; and naturally contains a good deal of legendary lore interwoven with historical fact as the author endeavours to prove that Spain is the oldest monarchy in Europe." - Maggs Bros., Spanish Books, 1927. Title page and first few leaves repaired around the margins, without loss, some worm tracking, but thoughtfully in the margins, otherwise a handsome contemporary binding.…
