First Spanish issue of the best history of Chile which appeared in the
same year as the Italian edition. There is still some doubt which of the two was first
published (see Sabin and J. Carter Brown), though Heredia states the priority of our
present edition to the Italian version and all the other bibliographers have put it
before the latter one. In every case the present edition is the most complete,
containing as it does the highly curious portraits of the principal Spaniards
who had conquered or governed in Chile and which are not to be found in the
Italian version.
Collation: Title-page, 3 unn. 11., 455 pp., 1 leaf., 6 11. with 12 woodcuts representing
establishments of the Jesuit missions in Chile, 3 11. with 6 woodcut-plans of the princi-
pal harbours, 1 large folding map, and 14 copperplates.
Furthermore there are inserted between p. 322 and 323 a series of twenty-one
etchings with two particular engr. title-pages (not cotained in the Italian edition),
partly by Ant.Tempesta, representing in all 25 equestrian portraits of the “Gubernatores”
and 12 half-length portraits of the Duces.
According to Salva, Heredia and Palau y Dulcet copies as the present one con-
taining all the plates mentioned are of excessive rarity («Son rarisimos los ejemplares
donde se hallan todas las laminas»).
As to a half-title preceding the title-page Sabin says: “The leaf preceding the
title is generally wanting, it not being known in more than two or thee copies”,
and, indeed, except the John Carter Brown copy, we have not been able to trace
this half-title as mentioned in any of the above bibliographers.
Here and there slightly stained, otherwise a very well preserved copy.
Father Ovalle, born at Santiago de Chile in 1601, wrote his great work while
acting as procurator of his Province at Rome. He died at Lima in 1651.
