Beschreibung

[13], 204, 211-216, 205-210, 217-220ff, [18]. Partially misbound. With an engraved pictorial title page and two further engraved plates by Pedro de Villafranca Malagà n. Later vellum, title in manuscript to spine. Extremities rubbed, marked, and discoloured. Chipping to head of title page, small neat paper repair to verso, very occasional manuscript annotations in an early Spanish hand. The first edition of Francisco Ruiz de Vergara à lava's survey of Spanish orders of knighthood and chivalry. The exceptionally baroque allegorical title page, representing the Apostle Saint James hewing down Saracens, and the two plates (depicting Philip IV and the immaculate conception respectively) are the work of Pedro de Villafranca Malagà n (c. 1615-1684), Madrid-based painter and printmaker and sometime engraver-in-ordinary to Philip IV. Such was the impact of the title page illustration, it was repurposed in 1719 for Aguado de Cordova's Bullarium equestris ordinis. Size: Folio. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers AQ25847
