Item description from seller

Two works bound in 1 volume. 12mo. 258, [6 blank]; [xxiv], 522, [16] pp. Title vignettes; minor worming at rear margins, light waterstaining. Original vellum; a few small worm-holes at spine edges/gutter, edges discolored. Early ownership signatures [ex libris Christophori Redii [?]; . . . 1657], single College of the Sacred Heart rubberstamp on ffep. Very good. Rare. "Four years [after the publication of De justitia et jure] a work of quite a different nature was written by Lessius under the title, "Quae fides et religio sit capessenda" (Antwerp, 1609). It is a short book of some 150 pages, on controversy and apologetics, which brought about a great many conversions, among them that of John of Nassau. The book was often reprinted and was translated into Flemish, German, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, and French." — The Catholic Encyclopedia. / The second work is written by Alvarez de Paz and edited by Father Gonsalvo Barnuevo. Alvarez de Paz was a Spanish Jesuit mystic and member of the Society of Jesus who preached in Peru. Alleged to have had the gift of prophecy, during his sermons he often fell into ecstasy and had to be carried from the pulpit. Supposedly, when he died in Potosi, 100,000 silver miners left their work to observe his funeral services.
