Bartolome de Las Casas, Historian; An Essay in Spanish Historiography
Gainesville FL: University of Florida Press, 1952. Hardcover. xiii, 125p., the first edition with the fragile dust jacket intact. Rubricated titlepage. Hardbound in 8.5x5.5 inch brown cloth boards gilt-titled and enclosed in the unclipped dj; jacket is printed sepia on pulp-speckled matte paper, top edge a little ragged, bears an inch-long closed tear and a minute chip at the head. Endsheets also of "artsy" wood-fragment stock in very good condition. A close inspection of the book itself shows it also to be quite a crisp clean copy, with perfect rims, no ownership marks.
