ACOSTA, JOSE DE. De Natura Novi Orbis Libri Duo, et de Promulgatione Evangelii, apud Barbaros.
2 parts in one. 8vo, contemporary vellum, lacks ties, small split on the backstrip; front hinge cracked; minor toning to the title, a few light bleach marks. Salamanca, 1589; 1588
- Notes: According to Alden, this is the second printing of Acosta's important work on the natural history of the new world and the missionary work among the Indians, indicated by the altered date on the first title (preceded by an edition printed in Salamanca the year prior); other bibliographers refer to this printing as the first edition. Both are of considerable rarity. Alden 589/1; JCB I, page 315; Sabin 118; Palau 1978.
