The John Carter Brown Library copy appears to be a variant of that described by Vargas Ugarte, who transcribed the title page of the exemplar he saw as: Officia sanctorum In Breviario Romano ex Mandato Summo- run [sic] Pontificum apponenda, tam de praecepto, quam ad libitum recitanda. Et alia quae in regnis Hispaniarum, et locis recitari possint juxta Rubricas Breuiarij Romani, ex decretis Sac. Rit. Congreg. auctoritate superiorum novissime recognita. Limae Apud Josephum de Contreras. Anno 1687.

John Carter Brown Library copy acquired with the assistance of the Saint Mariana de Jesús Paredes Fund.

Provenance of John Carter Brown Library copy: Yldefonzo Rosario y Tapia: inscription on the recto of the front flyleaf; Father Casimiro Rasguido Valdes Menesez Vargas: inscriptions on the recto and verso of the front flyleaf and the verso of the back flyleaf.

The John Carter Brown Library copy is bound in contemporary vellum together with sixteen other Divine offices, all with caption titles, some of which were printed in Lima, others of which could have been printed almost anywhere in the Hispanic world or Rome for that matter, not all of which are datable, and some of which were clearly lifted from larger works: (2) Officium quinque plagarum D. N. Jesu-Christi feria VI. post Cineres. Duplex majus. Ad vesperas (Lima, 1739?); (3) In festo S.

They correspond to the latest, more often than not, the only dates given within the texts. Be that as it may, it is known that all of the Offices in question were printed before 19 March 1782, when these pieces were bound together, according to the ms. note on the front flyleaf.
