1633ref. 2057Mexico City: Por Francisco Salbago 1633. Good. 15189 of 192 leaves; lacking leaves ¶1 blank Y4-5 Zz3 Zz6-8. R1-2 cancels. Contemporary vellum manuscript spine label. Vellum worn front hinge separating. Deep marca de fuego along top edge with resultant loss occasionally touching headlines. Scattered contemporary manuscript annotations. Some foxing and soiling internally. The unrecorded first Mexican edition of this religious manual on "dying well" by Martin de la Madre Dios a Spanish Carmelite monk. The work was first published in Zaragoza where the author was ensconced in 1628 was translated into Latin 1640 & 1641 and French 1646 and was re-published twice in Spain 1643 & 1650 thus making the present edition the second overall. Although it was clearly a popular text the only edition surviving in more than one recorded copy is the 1641 Latin translation printed in Cologne and is clearly the type of book that received heavy use. This genre of work attempted to provide a guide to Catholics on the significance of death and the steps to take in order to have a "good" death that would ease the way to heaven and treats death as the final most important religious ritual in the life of a Christian. The present work has a lengthy initial section explaining these views to its reader and providing examples of good deaths from the Bible lives of saints and even Greek philosophers. The second part covers the major acts necessary such as confession to enact a good death and the third most brief section contains instructions for the numerous smaller duties. Francisco Salbago the publisher was the official printer of the Holy Office and the Inquisition in Mexico during the 1630s. This copy bears the marca de fuego of the Oratorio de San Felipe Neri in San Miguel de Allende. Slightly defective lacking three internal and three final leaves but nevertheless a good example of an otherwise unrecorded early 17th century religious manual and Mexican imprint. Por Francisco Salbago unknown books

Domenech was a missionary in Texas and Mexico and chaplain and almoner in the service of Maximilien Emperor of Mexico.

Other plates are lifted from the work of George Catlin. Parts of the text relate to Texas New Mexico California Utah Oregon Louisiana Minnesota &c. with some mention of Canada. There are sections on Indian antiquities; and descriptions of the various tribes customs languages religions &c. Morizot unknown books
