Additional Details

First edition of the rules for an Augustinian convent in Puebla. The compiler was then the Bishop of Tlaxcala, and in 1690 came into conflict with Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz--publishing one of her works without her permission and suggesting that she stay away from secular matters. Medina, Puebla 142; Palau 254031. One in OCLC (Tulane University), and none traced at auction.
