PARADISE LOST - (Paraíso Perdido) — Spanish translation by Escoiquiz, Madrid 1844 
2 volumes (of 4), disbound

Early Spanish verse translation of Milton’s Paradise Lost, rendered by D. J. de Escoiquiz and printed in Madrid in 1844. The edition is notable for its engraved frontispieces and decorative elements, and the paper quality remains very good, fresh and well-preserved overall, making the volumes pleasant to handle despite the absence of hard covers and original sewing. Offered here are two volumes of the original four, both disbound.

Author / Translator: John Milton; translated into Spanish verse by D. J. de Escoiquiz (Archdeacon of Alcaraz, Canon of Toledo)

Publisher: Imprenta y Casa de la Unión Comercial, Madrid

Year: 1844

Volumes included: Vol. I (365 pages) and Vol. II (345 pages) — total c. 710 pages

Size: 21 × 13.5 cm ≈ 8.3 × 5.3 inches

Binding / Material: Disbound — without hard covers, gatherings unsewn

Condition: Fair. Disbound, without covers or sewing; gatherings loose; with foxing and edge wear. The paper itself is in good condition, solid and clean for its age. Incomplete set (2 of 4 volumes).

Additional note: A few pages show minor traces of humidity and foxing, consistent with the age of the volumes but not affecting legibility. The original blue printed paper covers (title leaves for Vols. I and II) are preserved separately and will be delivered together with the books. These fragile sheets are typical of the publisher’s 1844 issue and add bibliographic interest.

Language: Spanish (not the original language)

Subject: Literature / Poetry

Object: Book (2 volumes of 4),

Place of printing: Madrid, Spain

Note: This 1844 Madrid edition is among the earliest Spanish translations of Milton’s epic poem. While only part of the complete set, these volumes are valuable for collectors of Milton, Spanish literary history, or those interested in rebinding projects.

Please study the photographs carefully to assess the exact condition and completeness.
