Ejercicios Espirituales de N.P.S. Ignacio por el Padre Sebastian Izquierdo, de la Compania de Jesus, Segun se practica en la Casa de Ejercicios de San Felipe Neri de Mexico by Izquierdo, Sebastian - 1860

Mexico City: Tip. de M. Murguia, 1860. About very good.. 159pp., plus nine lithographic plates. 12mo. Contemporary quarter calf and marbled boards, spine gilt. Spine ends chipped, spine worn, fore edges scuffed. 19th-century ownership signature on front flyleaf. Light occasional foxing. An apparently unrecorded pocket-sized Mexico City edition of a compendium of fifteen "spiritual exercises" developed by San Ignacio del Loyola. The work also includes an introductory sonnet to Ignacio, preliminary sections containing "Advertencias Acerca de Estos Ejercicios," "Disposicion para tomar los Ejercicios," a prayer, and other preparatory passages, as well as an Appendix comprised of "Resoluciones" and a list of maxims of Saint Teresa. Of particular interest are the nine lithographs which complement the text, featuring Jesus on the cross and other religious scenes of Heaven, Hell, and the Bible. The plates were presumably produced in Mexico, though they are not signed. OCLC reports a handful of editions of this work in Paris and Barcelona, but does not list any copies of a Mexican edition.
