1688ref. 80629London: for James Knapton 1688. First Edition in English. Small 4to 21cm. Later marbled paper-covered boards with gilt morocco spine label; vi70pp. Mild external aging and wear; text quite fresh a few leaves trimmed close at top edge but with no loss of printed area; easily Very Good. A most attractive copy. A celebrated account of suffering under the Portuguese Inquisition. Dellon a French medical doctor and naturalist settled at Daman on the western coast of India around 1673 where he began a private medical practice. Within a year he was taken prisoner by the Inquisition accused among other crimes of blaspheming against the adoration of the crucifix. He was transported to Goa where he was held for two years under harsh conditions before being shipped to Lisbon where he was finally released in 1675. This account of Dellon's sufferings first appeared in Leiden 1687; in Paris a year later then rapidly went into English German and Dutch translations.

1789ref. 6490Mexico City 1789. Still very good. 9pp. Disbound. Folio. Lacking plain front wrappers. Light wear at lower edge. Scattered faint foxing and light tanning. A fascinating trilingual decree to the Spanish colonial territories of America and the Philippines featuring Latin Italian and Spanish in dual columns. The document focuses solely on the prohibition of one book which was considered particularly heinous to the Catholic Church and the Spanish Crown entitled Segunda Memoria Catolica written in 1784 by the Jesuit missionary Carlo Borgo and published by Andres Febres. The work unsurprisingly caused controversy because within the author harshly criticizes the persecution of the Jesuits accuses the crown and the church of plotting against the order and proposes that those involved be sentenced to death for treason. He further theorizes that the expulsion of the Jesuits of America together with the independence of the United States would cause the loss of the Spanish dominions in America which turned out to be prophetic or highly coincidental depending on your point of view. The present document itself contains several parts. First is the preamble by the Archbishop of Mexico in Spanish that states the authority from which the decree is issued and its subject. Second is proclamation of the Spanish king Carlos IV ordering that the work be proscribed and all copies confiscated. What follows in two columns is the brief but complete and official condemnation by the church in Latin and Italian. Then the document continuing in two columns prints the longer prohibition by Pope Pius VI "Ad Perpetuam Rei Memoriam" and an edict in Latin and Spanish from the Reverenda Camara Apostolica giving its administrative approval. The final part contains the approval of the text as it was received in New Spain by the Archbishop of Mexico and his signature. In all a very interesting look at the administration and process of the Index for Prohibited Books in a very unusual trilingual format. We locate two likely copies at Yale and the BNE. unknown books
1815ref. 5342Mexico: 8 de Julio 1815. Very good. Double-sheet broadside measuring 23.75 x 17 inches. Old fold lines some slight rumpling. Minor soiling and wear. A fascinating and rare broadside in which the Inquisition attempts to prohibit pro-independence publications including the 1814 Constitution of Apatzingán during the midst of the Mexican Revolution. Dated July 8 1815 this proclamation of the Inquisition first reiterates a blanket prohibition on what it labels seditious and anti-Catholic publications that is to say anything in favor of the revolution and independence. It warns that any statements in favor of liberty and democracy constitute heresy in the eyes of the Inquisition and that such calls in fact seek to subvert the natural order rather than re-establish it: "Producciones de una nueva raza de Filósofos hombres de espíritu corrompido que baxo del especioso titulo de defensores de la libertad maquinan realmente contra ella destruyendo de este suerte el orden político y social y gerarquia de la Religion cristiana exhortando con este language de seduccion á ascudir el yugo de subordinacion y sujecion á las lexítimas Potestades tan recomendada por Jesucristo y pretendiendo por aqui fundar si les fuera posible sobre las ruinas de la Religion y Monarquias aquella soñada libertad que malamente suponen concedida á todos los hombres por la naturaleza: razon porque prohibe los muchos libros que menciona y los demás que sean de la misma clase para precaver con oportuno remedio el daño que puedan occasionar." The proclamation then continues in seven numbered sections to outlaw specific works published by the revolutionary government its forces and its supporters. Most significantly the broadside outlaws the Decreto Constitucional para la Libertad de la América Mexicana more commonly known as the Constitution of Apatzingán. This document promulgated by the Congress of Anáhuac on October 22 1814 printed 242 articles for the establishment of republican government in Mexico although it was never brought into force. The propositions put forth by the Constitution are so egregious according to the Inquisition that it is impossible in one edict to denounce them all individually: "Excederia los límites de un edicto la especificacion particular de todos y de cada uno de los crasísimos errores que contiene este infernal papel; pero bastará advertir á los Fieles que en él baxo el respetable nombre de Religion Católica Apostólica Romana que sirve de escudo á sus tramas como antes servia el de Fernando VII contra quien tan iniquamente se han declarado rebeldes se introducen las mas groseras heregias y los mayores delerios." Nevertheless the authors go on to highlight the most transgressive articles condemn the inferred inspiration of the document from authors like Hobbes and Rousseau and emphasize the rejection of Church doctrine implicit in calls for revolution and democracy: "Mas como los Autores de Constitucion se han propuesto revelarse tambien contra la Doctrina expresa de la Iglesia dogmatizan ser licito á los Ciudadanos levantarse contra el Principe prevarle del Reyno mudar el Gobierno monárquico en republicano á pretexto de tirania como si fuera lo mismo fundarlo de nuevo que revelarse contra el ya fundado. Decir que es licito y justo el tal levantamiento contra el lexitimo Principe aunque sea baxo de pretexto de tirania es una proposicion condenada repetidamente por la Iglesia y heregia declarada." In the remaining six sections the Inquisition continues to condemn a litany of decrees sermons almanacs manuscripts and other texts that emanate from revolutionary sources or espouse democratic ideas. In all the document serves as an outstanding representation of the royalist Catholic and conservative forces that were attempting to hold power in Mexico during this period and a fascinating example of attempted censorship of revolutionary ideals.

At foot of sheet: Nadie le quite pena de excomunion mayor.Text in double columns.Printed on 2 sheets joined together to form a single broadside. Seal of the Inquisition with caption "Domine Iudica Causam tuam. Exurge" printed at bottom left corner. A fascinating and rare broadside in which the Inquisition attempts to prohibit pro-indepedence publications including the 1814 Consitution of Apatzingán during the midst of the Mexican Revolution. Dated July 8 1815 this proclamation of the Inquisition first reiterates a blanket prohibition on what it labels seditious and anti-Catholic publications that is to say anything in favor of the revolution and independence. It warns that any statements in favor of liberty and democracy constitute heresy in the eyes of the Inquisition and that such calls in fact seek to subvert the natural order rather than re-establish it: "Producciones de una nueva raza de Filósofos hombres de espíritu corrompido que baxo del especioso título de defensores de la libertad maquinan realmente contra ella destruyendo de este suerte el orden político y social y gerarquia de la Religion cristiana exhortando con este language de seduccion á ascudir el yugo de subordinacion y sujecion á las lexítimas Potestades tan recomendada por Jesucristo y pretendiendo por aqui fundar si les fuera posible sobre las ruinas de la Religion y Monarquias aquella soñada libertad que malamente suponen concedida á todos los hombres por la naturaleza: razon porque prohibe los muchos libros que menciona y los demás que sean de la misma clase para precaver con oportuno remedio el daño que puedan occasionar." The proclamation then continues in seven numbered sections to outlaw specific works published by the revolutionary government its forces and its supporters. Most significantly the broadside outlaws the Decreto Constitucional para la Libertad de la América Mexicana more commonly known as the Constitution of Apatzingán. This document promulgated by the Congress of Anáhuac on October 22 1814 printed 242 articles for the establshment of republican government in Mexico although it was never brought into force. The propositions put forth by the Constitution are so egregious according to the Inquisition that it is impossible in one edict to denounce them all individually: "Excederia los límites de un edicto la especificacion particular de todos y de cada uno de los crasísimos errores que contiene este infernal papel; pero bastará advertir á los Fieles que en él baxo el respetable nombre de eligion Católica Apostólica Romana que sirve de escudo á sus tramas como antes servia el de Fernando VII contra quien tan iniquamente se han declarado rebeldes se introducen las mas groseras heregias y los mayores delerios." Nevertheless the authors go on to highlight the most transgressive articles condemn the inferred inspiration of the document from authors like Hobbes and Rousseau and emphasize the rejection of Church doctrine implicit in calls for revolution and democracy: "Mas como los Autores de Constitucion se han propuesto revelarse tambien contra la Doctrina expresa de la Iglesia dogmatizan ser licito á los Ciudadanos levantarse contra el Principe prevarle del Reyno mudar el Gobierno monárquico en republicano á pretexto de tirania como si fuera lo mismo fundarlo de nuevo que revelarse contra el ya fundado. Decir que es licito y justo el tal levantamiento contra el lexitimo Principe aunque sea baxo de pretexto de tirania es una proposicion condenada repetidamente por la Iglesia y heregia declarada." In the remaining six sections the Inquisition continues to condemn a litany of decrees sermons almanacs manuscripts and other text that emanate from revolutionary sources or espouse democratic ideas. In all the document serves as an outstanding representation of the royalist Catholic and conservative forces that were attempting to hold power in Mexico during this period and a fascinating example of attempted censorship of revolutionary ideals. ¶ Medina Mexico 11059 confusing the date for "8 de Febrero" instad of "8 de Julio.
