[MANUSCRIPT - SPANISH - Vincent MORALES].
Compendio de la exemplar vida y santa muerte del padre Juan de Santiago.
Córdoba 1770. 8vo. Contemporary limp parchment. With a large engraving of Juan de Santiago on the second leaf and a pen drawing on page 102. 4 "159" = 162 pp. Manuscript version of the only contemporary source on the life and death of the Córdoban Jesuit Juan de Santiago 1689-1762. It follows a work by the same name by Vincent Morales 1708-1765 which was probably published for the first time in 1763 in Córdoba. The copper engraving in the present manuscript likely comes from this edition. Judging from the ownership annotation the present manuscript was also made in Córdoba probably for a local university or convent. It contains an extra paragraph at the end about a feast held in honour of Juan de Santiago including six epigrams written for him. This part is not present in the printed versions of this work.Juan de Santiago was born in Écija. He became known as the "niño de la razón" because of his love for studying. He entered the Jesuit College at Sevilla at a young age. After he was ordained he moved to Córdoba College where he stayed for 40 years. He was seen as a model of holiness and many miracles were attributed to him. One of these occurred when he put out his hand to a blind woman who tried to enter the church and said to her: "Come in and take a good look." Upon which the woman cried "I see it I have recovered my sight." Throughout his life he was much loved in Córdoba because he helped and advised a great number of inhabitants. When he died there was an enormous grieving crowd in town and the City Council ordered that one of the three keys of his coffin should be kept in the city archive. The work by Morales was written at the request of the grieving Córdobans.With a crossed out ownership annotation on the verso of the title page. The parchment is stained and wrinkled with a few small holes and is somewhat smaller than the paper leaves. The borders of the first two leaves are frayed the manuscript is somewhat stained throughout. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf. De Backer-Sommervogel 1894 V 1284 printed ed. unknown

[Mexico]. [Spanish Constitution of 1812]
Don Juan Ruiz de Apodaca y Eliza Lopez de Letona y Lasqueti Conde del Venadito Gran-Cruz de las Ordenes Militares y Nacionales de S. Fernando y S. Hermenegildo. La Junta Preparatoria Establecida en Esta Capital en Cumplimiento del Decreto del Rey Convocando las Cortes de los Años de 1820 y 1821. caption title and first line of text
Mexico City: July 11 1820. About very good. Large double-sheet broadside approximately 23.5 x 17 inches. Two sheets joined at central horizontal fold. Five chips at left edge not affecting text and some additional minor edge wear; otherwise light toning and dust soiling. Two contemporary manuscript signatures at foot; contemporary duty stamps on blank verso. Fascinating and otherwise unrecorded broadside that dictates the organization and process for the 1820 election of Mexican deputies to the Spanish Cortes during the second and last period of constitutional monarchy in Mexico. Colonial Mexico first achieved some representation in the Spanish government under the liberal Constitution of 1812 which lasted for two years before being revoked by Ferdinand VII upon his return to power in 1814. The reinstatement of the liberal constitution and the Cortes of Cadiz in 1820 however was not enough to prevent Mexico from obtaining full independence one year later. This broadside promulgated in Mexico on July 11 1820 by the colonial Viceroy Juan Ruiz de Apodaca y Eliza announces the renewed representation via regional elections to select Provincial Deputies for the Cortes and contains eight articles delineating the process by which these elections are to be held. In brief these articles order representation be apportioned according to the population as approximated from the 1792 census; divides Mexico into provinces for the purposes of the election; and places parameters on representation for each province. In all a very interesting window onto the formation of the brief final period of Spanish colonial rule in Mexico. July 11 unknown

[ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT IN SPANISH, SIGNED BY KING PHILLIP II OF SPAIN]
"Rare Judaica: Fine XVIth Century Illuminated Manuscript Containing Provisions Against the Jews from Toledo Signed by the King of Spain"
<p><strong>Royal Provision of Phillip II Confirming and Ratifying the Privileges Granted by the Masters of the Order of Santiago to the Village of Corral de Almaguer Toledo 1572</strong></p><p>Manuscript. Small folio. 12 1/4 x 8 1/4". 8 double-sided vellum manuscript leaves originally bound together now unbound hand painted and decorated in blue red and gilt at various points throughout the text. The first page is hand-painted and decorated along the edge and includes a large decorative initial in multiple colors. Manuscript text in gothic style. Signed "Yo el Rey" on the back of the final leaf by King Phillip II of Spain in 1572.</p><p>ATTRACTIVELY ILLUMINATED EARLY MANUSCRIPT. JUDAICA INTEREST. Our manuscript contains the 4 confirmed provisions originally drafted by Infante Henry Duke of Aragon 1421 and 1440 Alonso de Cárdenas here listed as "Alfoso" sic in 1480 and then "The Catholic Kings" in 1494 all of whom at various times served as "Grand Masters of the Order of Santiago". The provisions were instigated against the Jewish communities of the villages of Corral de Almaguer and Ocana in Toledo province. Residents of the towns affiliated with the Order of Santiago repeately complained throughout the 15th and 16th centuries to the the authorities of that order of that the Jews and later conversos had bought land from Christians and had not paid any taxes on their purchases. Ultimately the Jews of Corral de Almaguer were ordered to pay comparable taxes to the Christians for said property but the Jews of Ocana were excepted because of their previous payments of other taxes. Given the fact that this manuscript copy dates from 1572 and was signed and reconfirmed by King Phillip II so long after the expulsion of 1492 shows there were still clearly tensions and persecution of local conversos even long after the communities had converted to Catholicism.</p><p>The top left margin on the front of the first leaf contains a handwritten note in ink stating in Spanish "It consists of this-privilege that Juan Collado was a secretary of the Order of Santiago in the year 1480". There are a few additional scant marginal notes in ink throughout and additional handwritten notes and signatures some indecipherable on the verso of the final leaf under the King's signature.</p><p>This document provide a fascinating and invaluable resource to those studying the history of Jews in Spain during the 15th and 16th centuries.</p><p>Text in Spanish.</p> hardcover

[PAMPHLET- SPANISH - MARITIME].
Relacion de las presas que los vageles y fragatas de la real armada de Dunquerque y navios de particulares hizieron en las costas de Francia Inglaterra y otras partes desde primero de Mayo hasta ultimo de Diziembre del año de 1638.
Madrid 1639. Folio c. 29 x 20.1 cm. Diego Diaz Unbound housed in a plastic folder. 2 ll. Rare 17th-century Spanish pamphlet documenting the maritime activities of the Royal Armada of Dunkirk and privateers along the coasts of France England and other territories from 1 May to 31 December 1638. This detailed account lists 118 captured vessels including warships frigates and small craft many laden with highly valuable cargoes such as silk spices wine sugar salt precious metals and pearls.Printed in Madrid it served both as a record of naval prizes and a public announcement of military success during the turbulent years of the Eighty Years War 1568-1648 and concurrent Franco-Spanish conflicts. Dunkirk then a major Spanish port in the Low Countries was a base for state-authorised privateers corsarios whose daring raids on enemy shipping are vividly detailed here including the disposition of artillery captured crews and the fate of vessels either incorporated into the Spanish fleet or destroyed.The present work emphasizes the skill and bravery of the Dunkirkers noting that despite repeated attempts by Dutch fleets to block them only one Spanish warship was lost over thirty months of operations while over 800 enemy ships were captured. It is an exceptional example of early modern naval reporting illustrating not only the logistics and spoils of naval warfare but also the political and economic role of privateering in Spanish maritime strategy.The leaves are slightly browned and foxed the gutter of the second leaf has been reinforced with a manuscript page number "124" and "125" at the recto of the first leaf and the verso of the last leaf. Otherwise in good condition.l Catálogo y Biblioteca Digital de Relaciones de Sucesos CBDRS 0001964; WorldCat 1025513992 224450878 7 copies. unknown

General Order No. 10 reads The garrison of this post has been ordered to other stations. Before the severance of ties which will always be a pleasing memory to him. The commanding Officer wishes to thank officers and men for the cordial support and assistance which they have given him. In thirty-seven years he has never been associated with better soldiers or more agreeable comrades. It seems probable that our country will soon require our services on the field of battle. The flag which we love - the flag carried to victory on many fields by Americans - by our fathers - will be as bravely borne by you and your grateful countrymen will honor your patriotism and devotion to duty. By order of Lieut. Col. Kellogg Signed E. H. Plummer 1st. Lieut. 10th. Infantry Adjutant." <br /> <br /> On a historical note the Commanding Officer General Nelson Miles sent a telegram to Lt. Col.

Atlanta Peace Jubilee. Celebrating the Success of American Arms in the Spanish-American War. Official Programme
Atlanta: Atlanta Peace Jubilee 1898. First Edition. Broadside. Very good. Broadside. Approx. 8" x 6". Vertical fold to the paper. This broadside provides the schedule for Wednesday December 14th and Thursday December 15th. President William McKinley and his party attended this celebration having lunch before attending a public reception at the State Capitol on Wednesday. Later that day there was a floral parade and an evening reception at the Capital City Club. Thursday they had breakfast at the Kimball House followed by a Grand Parade and a Grand Banquet at 7:00 p.m. At 8:00 p.m. a theater party at the Grand tendered by the ladies of Jubilee Committee to Mrs. McKinley and the ladies of the Presidential Party: Sol Smith Russell being the attraction. Either the President kept late hours or the programme was inaccurate: following the theater performance the next agenda item was 11 p.m. lunch at Capitol City Club with the President and his party departing at 1:00 a.m. From Franklin Garrett's history "Atlanta Environs" vol. II pages 357-359 summarizes the celebration. Garrett states "An outstanding event in the local annals for 1898 was the Atlanta Peace Jubilee held on December 14th and December 15th celebrating the success of American arms in the late war."

Colección Martínez: Crónicas Notas de la Guerra del 1898 en Puerto Rico Notas de Arte Cover Title
San Juan / Arecibo: Imprimio en los Talleres Tipográficos de la Imprenta Venezuela / Coleccion Martinez 1946. First edition. Folio 15x11" 84pp. Presented to Kenneth McKlintock former Secretary of State and President of the Senate of Puerto Rico by the Colección Alvaraz Martinez Cadilla with inscription and signature on title page. Illustrations facsimiles. Original printed paper wraps spine chipped split and partially perished. Colección Alvaraz Martinez Cadilla stamps throughout else clean internally. A good copy. <br /> <br /> Very uncommon memoir from the innovative 20th century Puerto Rican artist Julio Tomás Martínez 1878-1954. Martinez studied art architecture and engineering working in all three fields in Arecibo. Martinez set himself apart from most Puerto Rican artists of the time with his interest modern idioms incorporating symbolism surrealism and futurism into his works. He was married to writer and artist Maria Cadilla and the two established an art academy in Santurce San Juan.<br /> <br /> This book includes sections on the Spanish American War and represents one of the few published memoirs of a Puerto Rican civilian on that topic. Martinez describes the role his hometown of Utuado played in the 1898 conflict and describes the American military campaign against Spanish forces on the island. <br /> <br /> This book has a significant association being presented to then Senator and later President of the Senate and Secretary of State of Puerto Rico Kenneth McKlintock b. 1957. We can't identify the signature but it is likely a child or grandchild of Martinez and Cadilla one of their daughters having married into the Alvarez family. <br /> <br /> OCLC cites just 6 holdings of this important text from an influential figure in early 20th century Puerto Rican history and culture. <br /> <br /> <br /> .

Hotel Florida: Truth Love and Death in the Spanish Civil War.
<p>New York:: Farrar Straus & Giroux 2014. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Near Fine tight copy with discreet remainder dot in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Madrid 1936. In a city blasted by a civil war six people meet and find their lives changed forever. Ernest Hemingway his career stalled his marriage sour hopes that this war will give him fresh material and new romance; Martha Gellhorn an ambitious novice journalist hungry for love and experience thinks she will find both with Hemingway in Spain. Robert Capa and Gerda Taro idealistic young photographers based in Paris want to capture history in the making and are inventing modern photojournalism in the process. And Arturo Barea chief of the Spanish government's foreign press office and Ilsa Kulcsar his Austrian deputy are struggling to balance truth-telling with loyalty to their sometimes compromised cause a struggle that places both of them in peril. Beginning with the cloak-and-dagger plot that precipitated the first gunshots of the war and moving forward month by month to the end of the conflict. Hotel Florida traces the tangled and disparate wartime destinies of these three couples against the backdrop of a critical moment in history: a moment that called forth both the best and the worst of those caught up in it. In this noir landscape of spies soldiers revolutionaries and artists the shadow line between truth and falsehood sometimes became faint indeed your friend could be your enemy and honesty could get you or someone else killed.Years later Hemingway would say "It is very dangerous to write the truth in war and the truth is very dangerous to come by." In Hotel Florida from the raw material of unpublished letters and diaries official documents and recovered reels of film the celebrated biographer Amanda Vaill has created a narrative of love and reinvention that is finally a story about truth: finding it telling it and living itwhatever the cost.</p> Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, hardcover

[SPANISH CIVIL WAR] COMINTERN
International Press Correspondence aka INPRECOR; aka World News and Views. Collection of 249 Issues 1934-1939
London: H.R.G. Jefferson et al 1934-1939. NOTE: Other identified publishers all London include: Unthanks Bookshop; R. Bishop; William Massey. Beginning in July 1938 title changes to "World News and Views." <br /> <br /> Collection of two hundred forty-nine quarto issues in original staple-bound self-wrappers. Each issue 27cm x 21cm; most issues ca 20pp numbered sequentially. General wear occasional creasing or small losses; some copies marked as "File Copies;" some with red pencil annotations presumably for publication; a few issues with ink pressure stamp of the Los Angeles Workers Library. With the exception of a few issues in 1934 the journal was printed on high-quality newsprint; the run is well-preserved Very Good overall and fully readable.<br /> <br /> The periodical was issued irregularly from one to as many as three issues per week; our run collates as follows: <br /> <br /> Vol. 14 1934: 28-14161719-232629-3234-3638-4043-455760-63 32 issues<br /> Vol. 15 1935: 1-58-3136383944474850555658596163646668-72 49 issues<br /> Vol. 16 1936: 1246-3032-384042-58 53 issues<br /> Vol. 17 1937: 248-242642444547-5355-57 47 issues<br /> Vol. 18 1938: 1-35-81012-2325273031333436-4044-47525456-60 38 issues <br /> Vol. 19 1939: 2-91415181920-2628-3235-4155 30 issues. Beginning in 1918 immediately following the Russian Revolution International Press Correspondence usually called by its acronym INPRECOR became the Communist International's principal international organ for distributing "official" news of the global spread of Marxist ideology. The paper was issued in four languages English French Spanish and German and at its height no fewer than one and as many as three issues per week appeared. The chief audience was the editorial staffs of COMINTERN-aligned newspapers where many of INPRECOR's articles would be republished verbatim. Thus INPRECOR served as a de facto press service for the left-wing media in Europe North and Latin America.<br /> <br /> In our experience cohesive runs of INPRECOR in any size are unusual; this collection represents a veritable treasure-trove of official COMINTERN policy during the Popular Front period especially valuable for its day-by-day coverage and interpretation of events in Spain before during and after the Civil War and for documenting the rise of fascism across the European continent. Our run ends in August 1939 on the eve of Germany's invasion of Poland and the outbreak of the Second World War. Between that date and 1934 despite occasional lacunae the issues offered here provide a clear and compelling narrative of the sweep of world events leading to the World War and an intimate view of the communist left's response to those events. <br /> <br /> Even individual issues are somewhat scarce in commerce. Earlier issues of INPRECOR have been digitized by the Marxist Internet Archive ending in 1934. Much of the run is available in microfiche produced by the Communist Party of Great Britain but the imaging is of legendarily poor quality basically illegible in many places. Holdings for physical issues are spotty per WorldCat with many institutions holding small samples or partial runs. H.R.G. Jefferson [et al] unknown

According to their provisional programme their key concern was to remain 'useful' útiles to the war effort and provide 'unconditional help to the government'. It was stated that the association should 'educate and re-educate the disabled veterans in physical and cultural terms. As a consequence of the efforts made by the LNMIG on behalf of disabled veterans the government gave preference to the war wounded to fill vacant menial jobs such as janitors messengers and the like" cf.Matthews James.

[Spanish Government]; [commentary by Eliseo Giberga]
New Constitution Establishing Self-Government in the Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico. Authorized Translation of the Preamble and Royal Decree of November 25 1897 Published in the Official Gazette of Madrid. With Comments by Cuban Autonomists on the Scope of the Plan and Its Liberality as Compared with Canadian Autonomy and Federal State Rights
New York: Published at the Office of "Cuba" 1123 Broadway 1898. First edition. In original printed wrappers. Wrappers creased and dented; spine missing at bottom. Corners dog-eared. A few pages with wormholes not affecting text. Otherwise in very good condition. First edition. In original printed wrappers. 74 2 pp. <p><br /> Rare first edition of Spain's 1897 grant of autonomy to Cuba and Puerto Rico-its last failed attempt to retain the islands through reform and the first constitutional success for the Cuban and Puerto Rican autonomist movements.<br /> <p><p><br /> Issued by Cuban autonomist exiles in New York this publication presents the full English translation of the Royal Decree of November 25 1897 signed by Queen Regent María Cristina which established broad local self-government for Cuba and Puerto Rico. It is accompanied by political commentary from Eliseo Giberga a leader of the Cuban Autonomist Party and editorials from El País the party's principal newspaper in Havana. The decree promised legislative authority to elected insular parliaments universal male suffrage civil and political equality with mainland Spaniards and control over finance commerce education public works and internal justice while reserving military naval and foreign affairs to the Spanish central government. A unique provision among colonial constitutions preserved the islands' representation in the Spanish Cortes.<br /> <p><p><br /> Although hailed at the time as realizing "the dream of three generations of Cubans" the new constitutional system was overtaken by events. After the sinking of the USS Maine and the outbreak of the Spanish-American War in 1898 Spain was forced to cede Puerto Rico to the United States and withdraw from Cuba rendering the newly granted autonomy largely theoretical. The political structure outlined in this decree was never fully implemented.<br /> <p><p><br /> The publication also offers comparative analysis asserting that the rights granted exceeded those enjoyed by Canadian provinces under the British North America Act of 1867 and in some respects by U.S. states. It preserves the vision of peaceful constitutional reform promoted by the Cuban Autonomist Party soon eclipsed by military occupation and the shift toward independence under American influence. <br /> <p><p><br /> This volume captures Spain's last liberal attempt to modernize its empire-a transitional political vision for Cuba and Puerto Rico that was quickly overtaken by war U.S. intervention and the collapse of Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and Pacific. It is also a key document in the history of Cuban constitutionalism and Puerto Rican political status.<br /> <p><p><br /> Rare particularly in original wrappers; only a handful of institutional holdings recorded. RBH lists only one copy sold in the past fifty years Sotheby's 2021.<br /> <p>. Published at the Office of "Cuba," 1123 Broadway unknown
