Author: Don Antonio de Solís.
| Printer: G. Vleugart. | Place and Date: Brussels, 1637.

A tangible fragment of the Spanish Golden Age in the heart of Flanders. This is Part One of the Life of Moysén, printed in Brussels, a nerve center for the Hispanic Monarchy in the 17th century, and dedicated with a formal dedication to the Most Serene Lord Don Juan de Austria.
Why is this piece invaluable to the collector?
Geopolitical Connection: The issue was printed in the heart of the United Provinces, reflecting the intense political, religious, and editorial activity of Spain outside the peninsula during a time of conflict and splendor. This is not just literature; it is a history of power.
Documented rarity: [Insert Appraiser's Figure]: 'It is estimated that the original print run was X copies, of which only 4 copies are currently known to exist in institutional libraries. This is one of the few copies in private hands.' This other one in the USA.
Bibliophile Context: Don Antonio de Solís, official chronicler of the Indies, left a milestone of Baroque prose in this work. His literary value is equal to his historical value.
Condition of conservation: Complete specimen, with all pages and engravings.
Expected signs of use for a nearly 400-year-old book, maintaining the original/post-epoch binding.
