Description
First edition, “One of the most notable works to have been printed in the Philippines” [Retana]. It is a continuation of Francisco Colin’s Labor Evangelica published in Madrid in 1663. Divided into four parts, the work includes sections on the early missions, the conquest of Mindanao, the discovery of Palau, and numerous biographies of significant Jesuit missionaries in the Islands. The ‘Virgen de la Rosa’ by Laureano Atlas was commissioned as the frontispiece of this volume written by P. Pedro Murillo Velarde (S.J.). This copy lacks the map of Nicolas de la Cruz Bagay. EXTREMELY RARE.
