“Muy Rara” — Otomí by a
Native-Speaker — with the FRONTISPIECE!
Neve y Molina, Luis de. Reglas de orthographia, diccionario, y arte del idioma othomi. Mexico: Bibliotheca Mexicana, 1767. Small 8vo (14.5 cm, 5.75". Frontis., [2] ff., 160 pp., engr. leaf of errata.

Otomí is one of the principal languages spoken in Central Mexico, and this work, more than any other, standardized its orthography; it is also the classic Otomí grammar and dictionary, and is by a man some authorities believe to have been himself an Otomí Indian, or at least of Otomí heritage. It was written during the mid-18th-century renaissance of linguistic study of the languages of Mexico, and Palau considers it “muy rara.” (It is much rarer on the market, in our experience, than similarly important works in Nahuatl.)
Both the engraved frontispiece and the engraved errata leaf are signed by the engraver Jose Francisco Gomez; the former, often, is not present but it is
here in very good state.

Provenance: Red leather bookplate stamped in gold of Estelle Doheny on front pastedown.
Medina, Mexico, 5174; García Icazbalceta, Lenguas, 55; Viñaza 356; Maggs, Bibl. Amer., II, 2154; Sabin 52413; Palau 190159; Pilling, Proof-sheets, 2738. Contemporary vellum, now shrunk to smaller than the size of the text block, with newer endpapers, ties lacking, light to moderate staining and wear to interior; housed in a custom slipcase of quarter vellum and cranberry-colored cloth with a cloth chemise.
A good copy of an important and scarce book, complete and with a good provenance. (31417)

Investigating His Predecessor / Learning the Tricks of

The viceroy publishes this announcement that the king has appointed him to carry out the residencia hearing into the administration of his predecessor, the Count Revillagigedo. Copy initialed by Branciforte and countersigned by José Ignacio Negreyros y Soria.
Apparently held by only one U.S. library.
This copy was sent to the town of Tulancingo; it has docketing information on the blank verso stating that it was received there and that
Juan de la Cruz, a bilingual Indian, read the decree to a large crowd on market day, 15 January 1795.

This leaf contains one notarial form, extending from the recto onto the verso. The characteristics of the recto are: Type face: gothic. Imprint area: 220 x 153 mm. Number of lines of text: 35. First line: Sepan quantos esta carta vieren como yo First line of main text: paraque por mi y en mi nombre podays pedir y demandar auer recebir y cobrar Last line: quieran mi presencia o mas especial poder Otrosi vos doy este dicho poder para Blanks: at end of line 1. Blank space between lines 1 & 2: 49 mm.The specifications of the verso are: Imprint area: 42 x 153 mm. Number of lines of text: 9. First line: que vuestro lugar y minombre podays hazer et sostituyr este poder en vna per Last line: la clausula judicium sisti iudicatum con sus clausulas acostumbradas Blanks: at the end of lines 4 & 9 and the beginning of 5.
The document was sworn in Puebla on 11 December 1565, before the notary Juan de Bedoya, and in it Francisco Guilen, a citizen of Puebla, gives his power of attorney to Hernando de RIbas, a resident in Veracruz.
Valton (see below) attributed this formulary to Juan Pablos. It bears no relation to the examples of his job printing that we have seen; it does, however, bear
the hallmarks of Ocharte's craftsmanship. The date of this form's printing is based on the exemplar in the Beinecke Library at Yale, where the earliest manuscript date on the carta is 9 October 1565. Assignment of printer is based on types and ornaments.
An excellent, early example of Mexican job printing, with the earliest known example of such job printing having been dated in manuscript in 1562.
Szewczyk & Buffington, 39 Books and Broadsides Printed in America before the Bay Psalm Book, 6 (for the exemplar now at Yale), fully illustrated. Appears to be Carpenter's type 4, attributed by Valton to Juan Pablos. See: Carpenter, A Sixteenth Century Broadside from the Collection of Emilio Valton, and also see, Juan Pascoe, Tratado breve sobre un formulario notarial, which is a study of a different copy of this precise notarial form (which, unfortunately, had its manuscript completion misdated as being 1562 when it is in fact 1566). Removed from a bound volume and slightly tattered in inner margin. One worm hole (pinhole type) in lower blank margin.
A very good example of Ocharte's job printing and an attractive one, with its manuscript completions both bold and legible. (41005)

The document was sworn in Mexico on 15 March 1594, before the notary Alonso Santres (??) , and in it Juan Gracia Barranco, a citizen of Puebla but visiting Mexico City, gives his power of attorney to Lope de la Carrera, also a citizen of Puebla, who was not present, to buy in his name gold, silver, and other things as he sees fit.
Valton (see below) attributed this formulary to Pedro Ocharte and the woodcut “S” is of the style of woodcut initials he used in various books.
The earliest known example of such job printing was dated in manuscript in 1562.

The collection of tithes in the bishopric of Puebla was a serious concern of Biship Osorio. In 1662 or 1663 he had issued a broadside reminder to inhabitants of Puebla that they had to pay church tithes on farm products and produce. Distinctions were made between tithes expected of Spaniards, as well as all others “que no fueren Indios” (“Mestiços, Chinos, Mulatos, Negros”), as opposed to Naturales” (i.e., native Americans). Tithes due from the first category of inhabitants include just about anything one can imagine, including grain, corn, chick peas, pine nuts, cocoa, fruit, butter, milk, cheese, sugar, honey, vinegar, maguey, vanilla, and chilies, as well as fish, beef, cattle, chickens, doves, pigeons, and tobacco, hides, cotton, mules, silk, etc. “Encomenderes” owe a tithe on all maiz, mantas, and other “frutos de la tierra” which the Indians pay them in tribute.
Products listed that were subject to tithes to be paid by “Indios” were also wide ranging, but somewhat less extensive. Finally, there was a list of products on which native Americans were exempt from paying tithes, including cotton, cacao, chilies, vanilla, pulque, maguey, etc.
These lists provided a vivid picture of products available in New Spain at mid-17th-century.
In this follow-up publication Bishop Osorio implements the appointment of individuals to sell the items received as “in kind” tithes (i.e., corn, butter, etc.). Substantial text articulates the qualities of character, piety, and competence that will be required of such administrators, and spaces are left in the incorporated form for the name of an individual being appointed to the office, along with the name of his jurisdiction and the date of his appointment. Here these spaces have been used: Lic. Jacinto Lopez Calderon is appointed to collect the tithes in the district of Olintla and to sell or auction any “in kind” payments.
Printed on a LARGE folio-extra leaf, and graced by its widow printer with a notably large, very handsome drop-capital initial “N,” the bishop's authorization document is decidedly impressive. The form is boldly signed by the bishop and a secretary, and bears the bishop's paper and wax seal. The verso of the leaf has a related printed form that is the actual commission given to the individual named on the recto; this too has an attractive drop-capital, one different from the other (and smaller). It too is signed by the bishop and a secretary.
This is an unrecorded example of Mexican (Puebla) job printing; it is not in Medina, Gavito, or Palau, and we find no reported holdings.

Norms have exceptions and the publishing history of this Marian text is one such example. During the colonial era of Mexico the norm for books written and published there was that they did not have subsequent printings in Europe. Oviedo (1670–1757), a Jesuit born in Bogota, educated in Guatemala, residing mostly in Mexico, and author of this text saw it first published in Mexico in 1726 by the famous Hogal press and then republished in Seville thirteen years later. In fact several of Oviedo's texts were subsequently printed in Spain, definitely a notable exception to the norm.
Oviedo proposes that the faithful who meditate on the 15 Marian mysteries expounded here will be prepared “to celebrate with devotion and fruitfulness the triumphant Assumption of the [Virgin's] body and soul in to Heave and Her glorious coronation as the Queen of the Universe.”

Will Pascal ever be admitted to the libraries of devout Roman Catholics? The author of this extended essay, who styles himself "Un Leonés" and who signs himself with the initials "J.I.A.," cautions a supposed subscriber to a new edition of Pascal's letters that they are riddled with Jansenist heresy and that the pope still prohibits the devout from reading them.

Master Printer Juan Pascoe has found a copy of his great grandfather’s own account of religion in Mexico and his missionary work there, and as a tribute to him Juan has produced a nicely illustrated and handsomely printed edition of that article, which appeared in Spurgeon’s famous periodical, The Sword and the Trowel. The illustrations are two cuts of 19th-century presses, three tipped-in photographs (one of James, another of James’ mother-in-law, and the third of one of James’ daughters), and a title-page cut reproduced from
the only illustration ascribed to James himself in his long-running periodical.

Pascoe, Mexico's greatest modern hand-printer, has long made a study of early Mexican printing, printers, and typography. Here he traces the use of a fourchée cross designed, cut, and cast by Antonio Espinosa, first used in 1554, that subsequently was part of the typographic repertoire of Pedro Balli, Antonio Ricardo, Pedro Ocharte, Melchor Ocharte, Diego López Dávalos, Enrico Martinez, Cornelio Adrián César, and Juan Ruíz.
In addition to discussion of this ornament's use by those various printers, Pascoe also offers interesting and sometimes new biographical information on the printers based on archival documents. His assessment of each printer's skills is informed by his own eye and decades of experience as a hand-press printer.
His text is illustrated by more than 20 color illustrations and by examples of each printer's signature.
In all, a totally satisfying work on the skills and personalities and, at times, the tribulations of these early New World printers — itself beautifully printed in Pascoe's own unmistakable style.
Issued in a strong soft white cover printed in black and red, within a dove grey typographic over-wrapper printed in darker grey and red. As new. (40046)

“Juan Pascoe’s story begins in the nineteenth century like a novel: 'My English great-grandfather, James Pascoe, was born in Cornwall . . . ' But this is a true, unique story of an American-Mexican fine printer with English ancestry grafted onto a sturdy, Quixotically Protestant Mexican lineage, leaving Juan with two languages and not much other capital. Through the luck of becoming apprenticed to Harry Duncan, one of America’s greatest handpress printers, Juan found his way as a man of books, and of his making of beautiful books (and posters, broadsheets, catalogues, cards, etc.) and jarocho music (as a founding member of Grupo Mono Blanco) there is no end. Great printers were active in Mexico in the sixteenth century long before Anglo-European printing presses had arrived in New England, and Juan’s work continues in that great tradition.
Juan’s narrative quickly establishes him as a master prose stylist, like Duncan, and as printers they are also equals, in my opinion, having worked with both. His dual identity as American and Mexican gives this compelling memoir a topical appeal beyond that of hand-press printing or poetry” (John Ridland).

A great rarity of the Spanish Southwest, and still the dominant history of the region and of Jesuit activities there for the period from 1590 to 1644, the Historia provides an
unparalleled description of the upper part of Mexico and what is now the southwest region of the United States in the first half of the 17th century.
Andres Perez de Ribas (1576–1655) joined the Jesuit order in 1602 and arrived in Mexico in 1604 to proselytize among the native Indians. He was assigned to the area of northern Sinaloa, along the Pacific coast, and showed great ability from the start. Within a year he had baptized all the members of the Ahome nation and a large part of the Suaqui tribe, together about 10,000 natives. In 1617 he was instrumental in the pacification and conversion of the Yaqui tribe. Perez de Ribas was recalled to Mexico City in 1620 to work in the college there, eventually becoming a provincial of the school. He returned to Rome in 1643, undertaking the present history (which he completed in 1644) and other histories still found only in manuscript.
The work is divided into twelve parts, cumulatively giving a history of Jesuit activities in Mexico and the American Southwest, as well as providing a social and cultural examination of Indian customs, manners, rites, and superstitions. The first part of the book gives a history of Sinaloa and its people before the arrival of the Spanish. Parts two to eleven describe the arrival of the Spanish and the Jesuits in upper Mexico and their activities among the several tribes, including the conversion of the Hiaqui tribe, and the missions at Topia, San Andres, Parras, and Laguna Grande, as well as the conversion of the Tepeguanes and their subsequent rebellion. The final part discusses missionary activities in other parts of New Spain, including
an account of the martyrdom of nine Jesuit missionaries in Florida in 1566.
There is also some information on Baja California.
“Obra de extremo interes acerca de las actividades de los jesuitas en Sinaloa, California y Florida” (Palau). Of Perez de Ribas' Historia Bancroft writes: “It is a complete history of Jesuit work in Nueva Vizcaya, practically the only history the country had from 1590 to 1644, written not only by a contemporary author but by a prominent actor in the events narrated, who had access to all the voluminous correspondence of his order, comparatively few of which documents have been preserved. In short, Ribas wrote under the most favourable circumstances and made good use of his opportunities.”
Provenance: On the upper edges of the volume is the colonial-era marca de fuego of the Seminario Conciliar de México.
Perez de Ribas' work is exceedingly rare on the market. In forty years of bookselling, this is only the second copy we have handled.
Very important and desirable.
