Production date: [between 1611 and 1615]
Call number: mssHM 37542
Creator: Salçedo(Opens in new tab)
Provenance: On f. 1, upper left corner, "39" in ink, possibly indicating its number in a series of Spanish documents; in center of upper margin, "33," in pencil. On the first leaf of most books of HM 177, with whose volume 2 HM 37542 was formerly bound, a small section has been clipped out, possibly to remove some identifying marks, and replaced with matching paper on which the original text was recopied by tracing. An early Huntington Library report mentions the presence of the bookplate of Don José Colón of Cáceres on the first page of Vol. 2 (Book IV); it is no longer in the book. The back pastedown bears a pencilled bookseller's notation "AY 81."
Restrictions: Open for use by qualified researchers and by appointment. Please contact Reader Services at the Huntington Library for more information.
Dimensions: 205 x 290 mm
Associated organization: Henry E. Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens.
