- Notes: Later edition of a treatise on natural magic, which Castrillo believed to have been learned by Adam in the Garden of Eden and brought to Spain by the ancient Israelites. Descriptions of the territories of the New World and the spread of Christianity there appear on pages 104-08 and 125-33. According to De Backer-Sommervogel II, 855, the first edition was printed in 1636 in Trigueras; Deschamps, who credits Castrillo for the introduction of printing in Trigueras, cites nothing prior to a 1649 edition. Thorndike VII, 333-34; this edition not in Alden or Palau.
