About This Item

Lisbon, Na Officina de Lourenço de Anveres, 1642.. FIRST and ONLY EDITION. 4°, recent antique sheep, spine gilt with raised bands in six compartments, crimson leather lettering-piece in second compartment from head, gilt letter, text-block edges rouged. Caption title. Woodcut initial. In very good condition. Old oval paper ticket with shelfmark "1746" in blank margin of recto of first leaf. (4 ll.). *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION. Very rare tract dealing with military struggles between French and Spanish forces in the north of Italy, the south of France, and Catalunya: Savoy, Perpignan, Roussillon, and Milan are mentioned. The author names military leaders, the strength of the troops they commanded, and how many on each side were taken prisoner or killed. This was a minor action in the brutal course of the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), which began as a religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants within the Holy Roman Empire, and evolved into a battle between the Bourbons and Habsburgs. Leaves 3v-4r include the leaders' agreements on behalf of the kings of Spain and France regarding the withdrawal of troops and artillery from Les Salces (Languedoc-Roussillon region in south-central France), including a comment that the Catalans will be allowed to withdraw as well. Although the 1640 rebellion in Catalunya (the "Reapers' War" or Guerra dels Segadors) failed, it significantly affected the outcome of the Portuguese struggle for independence, since it prevented the King of Spain from directing his full military might against Portugal. *** Arouca R215 (without citing an actual copy), having taken the information from Martins de Carvalho, Diccionario bibliographico militar portuguez (1891) p. 235, which gives a slightly different transcription of the title page, and a collation of only 4 numbered pages.
