[1047]-1072. Final appendix. Outer margin of first few leaves slightly worn in some points. Contemporary full mottled vellum, richly gilt spine. A very good copy. A lengthy legal work defending Spain s right of succession to the Portuguese crown and, apparently, an answer to Lusitania LIberata ab injusto castellanorum dominio by Antonio de Sousa de Macedo, which was published in 1645. Apart from summarising and commenting on the economic, legal or dynastic arguments put forward by both sides in the conflict, the author collects a wide range of theological arguments that turn out to be a magnificent reflection of the foundation of Spanish politics; a politics that filters all legal or political arguments through Catholic theology. The treaty of Fernández de Castro reveals the existence of an authentic war of prophecies and signs from the sky that the Portuguese alleged in their favour and that the author author defines "false". In this book a whole theory of prophecy is expounded. Newberry, LC, Harvard, Berkeley Law. Palau y Dulcet, 2nd ed., 88256; Iberian Books, III, 42706. Martínez Añíbarro y Rives, Manuel.
