About this Item

Small quarto. [xviii], 248 pp. Woodcut title-page vignette. Contemporary tree calf, gilt spine with red morocco label. Former owner's small embossed stamp on title-page. Front free endpaper a little worn. Generally a near fine copy. First edition of the general index to the works of Father Benito Jer nimo Feijoo Montenegro (1675-1764), called the Spanish Addison, and to the additional published works of Father Martin Sarmiento (1659-1772), the Benedictine scholar and private librarian who assisted Feij o in the writing of his books. Feij o, author of Teatro critico (1726-1739) and Cartas erudias (1742-1760), attacked the ignorance and superstition of his countrymen. Though the immediate response to Feij o's work was outrage, his services to the cause of knowledge were ultimately honored in his lifetime. Palau 300594. Rodriguez-Monino, Antonio de Sancha, 80.
