This last Spanish translation of the tenth satire by Juvenal is the first appearance in Spanish of a work by this author. Extremely rare. Salva says, ‘‘ rarissimo y estremo aprectable:’, Palau quotes digh prices for this book, 3,000. pesetas in 1923, 3,600 marks, etc., etc., and states that t 1s considered one of the most precious books in Spanish literature both for _ ats intrinsic merit and commercial value. One or two outer and inner margins repaired, the paper here and there a little . browned, some very slight waterstains, but a sound and pleasing copy.

An extraordinarily. rare early Spanish play, based on the. Celestina.’ On folios 1b and 2a, an acrostic seems to reveal the author's name as “ El Bachiller Sebastian Fernandez.’ The only other copies known areim the Royal Library at Munich and Madrid. The latter copy lacks aleaf. Palau gives a wrong number of leaves.. The copy in the Madrid library has 77 ff. (including the missmmg one), as ours has. A typographical _ examination shows that tt. was probably printed at Medina del Campo by Pedro de Castro. A small curcular stamp has probably been removed from the title-page, following leaf and one other, and the missing letters, etc., made up im Jagsgeple, Otherwise 1m good condition. | ce 28 FERNANDO DE VELASCO (Pedro) Sahih de Tordesillas.
