1637réf. ABC_50143Madrid: Juan Sanchez 1637. Disbound. Folio 21 x 29.2 cm. With a woodcut decorated initial. Interesting account in Spanish of two captures and defeats that the Lord Marquis of Floresdavila of His Majesty's Council of War and his Governor and Captain General in those parts had in different Berber villages on the borders of Oran.The "Marquis of Floresdavila" is Antonio Zúñiga y de la Cueva ca. 1590-1652 who was the second Marquis of Flores DAvila General of the Galleys of Naples and Sicily Governor of Oran and Mersw-el-Kébir and of the County od Rousillon and member of the War Council of King Philip IV. Antonio Zúñiga was accompanied during the execution of these very bloody battles by Father Juan Ponce de Léon a 17th-century Spanish presbyter who served as an official "qualifer" calificador of the Holy Office the Spanish Inquisition. The first battle was on 17 November 1636 and following days the other on 5 February 1637 both were bloody and many Muslims and enslaved people were killed. The result was the definitive subjugation of these regions around Oran to the throne of Spain which had not seen a Spaniard before.The pamphlet was printed by Juan Sánchez Frexeneda also known as Juan Sánchez de la Frexeneda a prominent 17th-century Spanish printer and typographer based in Madrid. He operated one of the active printing workshops in Madrid during the Spanish Golden Age active from roughly 1613 until his death in 1639.

1639réf. ABC_50152Madrid 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.
