Edition Notes
An account of the memorial ceremonies held in Mexico City in honor of King Luis I (1707-1724), who died of smallpox just seven months after attaining the throne.
Includes the first appearance of Greek in a Mexican book which appears as two lines of leaf 15 recto and on the half-page engraving on verso of leaf 143, 4th count.
Includes an unnumbered plate with the coat of arms of Luis I bound following title page and a folded, engraved plate of a funerary monument bound to face leaf 32 recto; plates numbered I-XXXIV have a half-page engraving with some plates having lines of printed verse or a printed ornamental pattern below the half-page engraving; plates numbered I-XXXIV have been produces as plates and their stubs have been glued together to make a conjugate leaf to be bound within the gathered quires.
Where plates numbered I-XXXIV have lines of verse below engraved "head-pieces" there are catchwords present on the facing leaf; for plates numbered I-XXXIV which have only printed ornaments below the engraved "head-pieces" the catchword present on the facing leaf refers not to the plate but to the text on the page of text next in sequence.
