ESCOBAR (Fr. Luís de)
LAS Quatrocientas Respuestas a otras tantas preguntas que el yllustrissimo señor do Fradique Enrriquez: Almirante d’ Castilla y otras personas en diversas vezes embiaron a preguntar al autor […] con quinientos proverbios de consejos y avisos por manera de letania. Valladolid: Francisco Fernández de Córdoba, 1545.
[cruz cristo]10, A-J8, K10, L-Z8, aa-bb8, cc9; [10], cciii ff.; 285 mm.
FIRST Edition of an esteemed 16th century Spanish work. Divided into six parts, the first two deal with theological subjects, the third with "natural" ones such as medicine, cosmography, astronomy, etc., the fourth with everything that affects morals, the fifth entirely dedicated to enigmas and the sixth to proverbs . The work was so successful that three more editions were published soon after, all without the author's authorization. Rare.
¶ Palau, 81064
