Additional Details

Issued as a sort of sequel to Espinosa's 1746 Chronica Apostolica (see lot 336), which explains the "Segunda Parte" on the title page. It was followed in turn by Bringas de Manzaneda's 1819 "Sermon que en las solemnes honras celebradas . . . Fr. Francisco Tomás Hermenegildo Garcés" (see lot 87). The present work is an important source on the history of Texas and Arizona in its own right, it includes a life of Father Margil (timed to support his bid for beatification), long descriptions of the work of Fathers Francisco Hidalgo and Francisco Garcés, and fifty pages on the early Sonoran missions (394-444). Howes B337 ("b"--"a major source on the early southwest"); Jenkins, Basic Texas Books 60A; Medina, México 8171; Palau 17522; Wagner, Spanish Southwest 174. None known at auction since 1994.
