Madrid: Gabriel de Leon / Melchor Sanchez, 1675-1675. Hardcover. Published 1675-1676, the 7th edition, large 8vo, 19th century half green morocco, marbled boards, the first part undated but the Fee Del Corrector and Summa de la Tassa are dated late October 1676; the second part, printed by Sanchez, is dated 1675; paginated continuously. (10) 226 (2) 229-438 (10) pp. Originally published 1592-1600, this work, first thought to be authentic and accurate as a history of the Arab conquest of Spain up to AD 721, was later found to be a spurious work of the late 16th century by Miguel de Luna with not much historical accuracy. Very good, some rubbing to joints and light shelfwear, text is a bit tanned and almost entirely free of foxing but for the outermost leaves.
