About This Item
Mexico [City]: D. Mariano Ontiveros, 1816. First edition. Small octavo. 128, 179-213, [11] pp. The break in the pagination is due to a printer's error and is present in all copies; no text missing. Modern quarter brown morocco over brown cloth, gilt spine lettering. This early account of the Jesuits in California prior to their expulsion in 1767 has at the end a list of subscribers, details of the costs of producing the book and a list of those to whom it was distributed. According to Cowan (207) only 1000 copies were distributed. After presenting his arguments in favor of the reestablishment of the Society of Jesus in New Spain, the famous jurist relates the history of the missions of Baja California in the form of a letter from “Nicolás” to “Lorenzo,” perhaps in remembrance of Tamaral and Carranco, protomartyrs of the Californias.Medina, 11174.
