About This Item
1850 George P. Putnam hardcover rebound in half calf by B. F. Runkle. Fraying on edges of spine, pages soiled, foxed, and marked in pencil, corners bumped and slightly frayed, still quite readable.
Synopsis
Although the following Chronicle bears the name of the venerable Fray Antonio Agapida, it is rather a superstructure reared upon the fragments which remain of his work. It may be asked, Who is this same Agapida, who is cited with such deference, yet whose name is not to be found in any of the catalogues of Spanish authors? The question is hard to answer. He appears to have been one of the many indefatigable authors of Spain who have filled the libraries of convents and cathedrals with their tomes, without ever dreaming of bringing their labors to the press.
