1740réf. CA1210ab81944 pages with full-page engraving on verso of title page. Quarto 7 3/4" x 6" bound in contemporary vellum with edges tinted red. European Americana 740/121; Medina BHA 6467; Palau 92347; Sabin 24815 Second edition first published in 1692. Francisco de Florencia was the first Jesuit to be born in the territory that is now known as the United States in the current state of Florida. At the age of twenty-three he entered the Society of Jesus in 1612 and was professor of philosophy and theology at the Colegio Máximo de México. In 1668 he was sent as procurator of his province to Rome and Madrid. He then returned to the Mexican capital where he died in 1695. Of his sixteen works almost all with very baroque titles the History of the Province of the Society of Jesus in New Spain stands out published in Mexico in 1694 where he recorded the missionary work of the priests without making concessions to the Indians whom he almost totally ignores. Before entering the Society of Jesus in 1641 at the age of twenty-one he had been a seminarian at the Colegio de San Ildefonso where he later taught Philosophy between 1653 and 1660 lessons he continued to teach at the Colegio Máximo de México between 1660 and 1668. He then held the Vespers chair of Theology. He was chosen to travel to Rome as procurator by the XVII Provincial Congregation together with Ambrosio Adrada rector and master of novices at the Tepotzotlán college. He remained in the Eternal City between 1669 and 1670. He was a man of great credit in the province of Mexico where he stood out for his religious life his letters and his knowledge of the things of the Company in Mexico. After his work in Rome he lived in Seville between 1671 and 1678 with the office of attorney general of the Indies. By then there was another procurator before the Madrid Court in such a way that the procurator of the Indies in Seville was in charge of the most immediate matters related to the preparation of the trip of the missionaries to America while the one who resided in Madrid was in charge of all the prior procedures that had to be done before the Royal Council of the Indies. Father Florencia returned to Mexico in 1679 accompanied by reinforcements from Spanish and Italian Jesuits. There in 1680 he was appointed rector of the Colegio del Espíritu Santo in the city of Puebla de los Ãngeles. He died in Mexico City fifteen years later. Francisco de Florencia stood out not only as a preacher but especially as a historian and biographer of the religious who stood out in the province of New Spain as well as of the trajectory of the Society of Jesus in that viceroyalty. Not all of his works were published although his most important work is precisely the History of the Province of the Society of Jesus in New Spain. He also stood out in the study of the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe so it is not surprising that he requested the Holy See in 1663 the liturgical feast of this Marian invocation. Without a doubt Francisco de Florencia became the pioneer of Mexican religious history in aspects that were not limited only to the Society of Jesus.

If these secluded celebrity-drenched sites thick with the magic of fame are among the defining locales of these times then British artist Dexter Dalwood born 1960 is the history painter of our era. His bold busy canvases usually begin their lives as small collages literally cut and pasted from the pages of magazines and art history. In the subsequent large-scale works the abrupt disjunctions remain repurposing the genre of history painting to express the complex nature of iconicity in our age. With 100 color images this volume provides a first overview of this major artist's work including paintings and collages made over the last 12 years. Essays by Michael Bracewell and Terry R. Meyers and an extensive interview with the artist by Martin Clark and Florence Derieux complete the book. . 2010. 3037641266 . JRP|Ringier paperback

These works articulate the problematics linked to architecture and public space and questions of sociology psychology and gender politics. The conceptual investigation led by the artist essentially questions the way in which identity especially sexual identity is constructed or is on the contrary constrained by society and its physical spaces. The artist uses the appropriationist strategy of the 1980s as it permits past works to be revisited in order to reveal different significations. Thus the artist reconfigures a history no longer fixed in time and space but on the contrary perfectly open illuminating and transforming the present. . 2006. 3905701820 . JRP|Ringier paperback
