About this Item
Description:
[72]pp. 1,644 [i.e. 1,614] columns, plus fifteen (of twenty-six) portraits. Lacks frontispiece as well as eleven plates. Folio. Later calf, spine gilt, leather label. Boards rubbed, large piece of leather missing from front cover. Spine heavily worn and cracked, missing bottom portion. Ex-lib. with bookplate on front pastedown. Heavy worming throughout, though generally bright and clean. Fair. The first edition of this history of Spain and its royalty, by the notable Peruvian linguist, described frequently as his country's "Poet Laureate." The author was the official cosmographer of Peru, held the post of accountant to the Real Audiencia, founded the Academy of Mathematics, and was for a time the Rector of the University of San Marcos. The illustrations are singled out by various authorities as of great significance for the period: "C'est peut-être le seul livre de cette époque publié, dans l'Amérique du Sud, qui soit si curieusement illustré" (LeClerc). Pedro Peralta Barnuevo was colonial Peru's greatest polymath: linguist, historian, architect, administrator, mathematician, poet, and medical writer. In this work he essays in detail the history of Spain from Greco-Roman times to circa 600 A.D. The text is one of the most important histories written in Peru during the colonial era, but it is also one of the greatest illustrated books produced in Lima in the period to 1825. Adorned with fifteen copper engraved plates, all portraits of historic and mythic Spanish leaders, each one contained in an elaborate copper engraved frame. Peralta is quoted as saying that the artist was "un sublime genio, cual lo es el del varón religioso que ha ilustrado esta obra son las suyas, grande en la cátedra y en el púlpito y mayor en la virtud" (Medina). To this day this artist has remained anonymous; however, Medina and recent scholarship have zeroed in on Juan de Gazitúa as the most likely candidate. The complex historiated borders that surround the portraits are of six designs, each being used multiple times. Simply put, this is one of the most highly illustrated and best illustrated books produced in colonial South America, and it can hold its own against illustrated books of its sort produced anywhere. It is an uncommon book in the United States; OCLC locates only ten copies around the world. MEDINA, LIMA 854. PALAU 218086. LeCLERC 1816. SABIN 60849. Jerome Williams, CENSORSHIP AND ART IN PRE- ENLIGHTENMENT LIMA. (1994), p.186. Seller Inventory # WRCAM40918
