LLORENTE J-A.
Portrait Politique des Papes, consideres comme Princes Temporels et comme Chefs de l'Eglise, depuis l'Etablissement du Saint-Siege a Rome, jusqu'en 1822. FIRST EDITION IN PERIOD BINDING
2 vols., in 1, 8vo., First Edition; attractively bound in mid-nineteenth century half calf, marbled boards, gilt back, leather label lettered in gilt, a notably crisp, clean copy. SUPERIOR COPY IN PERIOD BINDING OF THE FIRST EDITION OF THE WORK WHICH TRIGGERED LLORENTE'S BANISHMENT FROM FRANCE. Juan-Antonio Llorente (1756-1823), Spanish historian and chronicler of the Inquisition, was born at Rincon de Soto in Aragon and studied at the University of Saragossa. In 1782, following his ordination, he was appointed Vicar-General to the Bishop of Calahorra. In 1785 he became commissary of the Holy Office at Logrono and four years later its general secretary at Madrid. In the crisis of 1808 Llorente identified himself with the Bonapartists and was for some years employed in superintending the execution of the decree for the suppression of the monastic orders, and in examining the archives of the Inquisition. On the return of King Ferdinand VII to Spain in 1814, Llorente withdrew to France where he published his great 'Historia critica de la Inquisition de Espana' (Paris, 1815-1817). Translated into English, French, German, Dutch and Italian it attracted much attention in Europe, and involved its author in considerable persecution. This establishment opprobrium was strengthened by the publication of his 'Portraits Politique des Papes' in 1822 and he was ordered to leave France at the end of the year, dying in Madrid on 5th February 1823. Both the personal character and the literary accuracy of Llorente have been assailed, but although he was not an exact historian there is no doubt that he made valuable (and in many cases, unique) use of documents no longer extant. VERY SCARCE

PRESCOTT William H.
History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic. New and Revised Edition, with the Author's latest Corrections and Additions. Edited by John Foster Kirk. THOMAS FALCON'S COPY WITH HIS FINE GAELIC BOOKPLATE
8vo., with a double-page facsimile, 2 full-page maps, and a full-page pedigree in the text, some light and occasional foxing to preliminaries, half-title and title [only], fore-edges very lightly spotted; attractively bound in late nineteenth century half calf, marbled boards ruled in blind, gilt top, very neatly rebacked in calf to style, marbled endpapers heightened with gilt, a very good, bright, clean copy. This copy was formerly in the library of Thomas Falcon RBA. It bears his dated signature on front free endpaper and his fine printed Gaelic bookplate on front paste-down. The bookplate displays his initials, the date 1898, his place of residence at Studland and the Gaelic motto 'Is fhearr caitheamh na meirgeadh', usually translated as 'Better to wear than to rust'. Thomas Adolphus Falcon (1872-1944) was an eminent landscape painter and silversmith of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Born at Pudsey in Yorkshire, he was educated at Manchester Grammar School and Trinity College Cambridge. He was elected Member of the Royal Society of British Artists in 1902 and exhibited over 130 works with them. He was also an exhibitor at the Royal Academy, the Royal Cambrian Academy, the Royal Society of Artists at Birmingham, Walker Art Gallery Liverpool, Manchester City Art Gallery, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters. His published works include Dartmoor Illustrated (1900) and Pictorial Dartmoor (1902); he also provided the photographs for the 1902 edition of Crossing's 'Ancient Stone Crosses of Dartmoor'. A long-term resident of the West Country, he lived first at Braunton in Devon and later at Studland on Dorset's Isle of Purbeck (viz. bookplate). His son Norman became a noted geologist.
