1790réf. 2777Madrid 1790. Peter Marin. Small 4to. 224 pp. Bound in contemporary horsehide -- on covers a flower tool has been impressed in gold to form a cross in the outer edges a rope-work roll at the corners the same flower tool four raised bands on spine in the compartments impressions in gold of the same flower tool; two pair of original catches and clasps affixed by nails one indistinguishable replacement all edges gilt around edges of the textblock are 11 impressions of a 6-pointed star. Minor wear to binding text clean and crisp. Preserved in a cloth box. FEASTS AND FESTIVALS in Toledo. It was suggested to us that this book was bound in Columbia South America where it had been beautifully preserved located since Colonial times. Be that as it may the front and back pastedowns consist of printed Spanish Revenue Stamped paper: "Quarenta Maravedis / Sello Quarto Quarenta Maravedis Ano de Mil y Ochocientos Siete" 1806. Such documents would have been valid for one year only in Spain after which time the document was unusable in any official capacity and therefore of no value except as scrap paper. Our binding must date ca. 1807-1810. The provenance suggests that the book originated in Granada: on the verso is the contemporary inscription "Fratre Francisco Illorales" presumably of Illora Granda. ¶ Of particular veneration in Toledo was Saint Ildefonsus 607-667 Bishop of Toledo whose Feast is celebrated on 23 January. El Greco's portrait of him is in the Santuario de Nuestra Señora de la Caridad Illescas Toledo where it has been preserved along with four other El Greco paintings for more than 400 years. ¶ COMMENT: We are grateful to Farley Katz Esq. for his kind assistance in the cataloguing of this item. unknown books

From Introduction: In accordance with the wishes of the Diocesan Convention of 1966 expressed in the resolution on page 53 of the Journal of the Convention this report is herewith submitted: It is to be noted that the convention resolution directed us to make a recommendation. This we have done towards the end of this report. In order to make our recommendation on as objective a basis as possible certain guidelines have been followed in developing the material incorporated into this report. Because this report itself represents the reasons and the reasoning why we recommend as we do it does not reflect all the objectivity we followed in our study. Thus we feel it important that the guidelines be presented here prior to the report itself. unknown books
