Machoni de Cerdeña, Antonio. ARTE, Y VOCABULARIO DE LA LENGUA LULE, Y
TONOCOTE. Madrid: Herederos de Juan Garcia Infanzon, 1732. xvi, 98, 136, 18 S. Old flexible
vellum, spine lettered in ink. 12vo. (150 mm. x 102 mm.).
FIRST EDITION OF ONE OF THE RAREST BOOKS OF ITS KIND, AND THE ONLY EVER
PUBLISHED ON THE LULE AND TOCONOTE LANGUAGES. The Arte is the first, and almost
only reliable source of what we know on the now extinct Lule language, spoken at the mission of
San Esteban de Miraflores, in current northern Argentina; it is a grammar, dictionary, and
catechism, meant for the use of missionaries, facilitating the communication and ultimately the
evangelizing of the native population. Antonio Machoni (1671 – 1753) was a Jesuit missionary
to the Paraguayan Missions, linguist, ethnographer, educator, cartographer, and explorer.
Machoni dedicated his life to working at the missions in Paraguay; he joined 1708 Esteban de
Urizar´s expedition to the Chaco in 1708, founded the mission of San Esteban de Miraflores,
taught at the Colegio Maximo de Cordoba, and served as Procurator to the Province in Rome
from 1732-33. His legacy includes also the Las siete estrellas de la mano de Jesus (1731), and
a map of the Jesuit Province, pointing out the Missions and geographical reality of the region.
Death found him in Argentina, in 1753, where he had spent most of his life. This copy contains a
Licencia not called for in Medina, and not found in most copies, dated 25 november 1732.

4. Molina Campos,
Florencio; Mario
Zavattaro,; Luis Julio
Medrano. A COMPLETE
COLLECTION OF
ALPARGATAS
ALMANACS SHOWING
GAUCHO LIFE IN
ARGENTINA IN ALL ITS
ASPECTS. Buenos Aires:
Talleres Gráficos
Colombatti & Cia. Ltda.
(Alpargatas), 1931/1962.
19 almanacs, each
containing 12 pages (one
page per month): 14
illustrated by Florencio
Molina Campos, 3
illustrated by Mario Zavattaro, and 2 by Julio Medrano. Preserved in a fine leather box ad-hock
plus three oversized calendars loose, as issued. 36x36 cms;36x52cms.
Florencio Molina Campos (1891-1959) was an illustrator and
painter known for his typical drawings of customs and daily life
of the Argentine pampa. His drawings and paintings recall, with
a touch of humor, typical gaucho customs. They were invariably
caricatures, and frequently primitive, although with
exaggerations and coloring that connect them also with a not
ingenuous expressionism; his art reflects that of sharp
observations of the gaucho world from an original and different
lens. His work achieved great popularity when a shoe
manufacturer (Alpargatas) contacted him to produce calendars
with gaucho motifs; the almanacs were published between 1931
and 1936 (6 almanacs) , between 1940 and 1945 (6 almanacs)
and between 1961 and 1962 ( 2 almanacs). While Molina
Campos did not work at Alpargatas 2 other artists illustrated this
famous Almanacs: Mario Zavattaro, an Argentinean painter,
illustrated three almanacs (1937/39), while Luis Medrano, an
Argentinean caricaturist, illustrated two (1946/47). ALL THE
ALMANACS ARE PRESENT IN THIS IMPRESSIVE
COLLECTION. This publicity material, revolutionary for its time, reached everywhere and the
people immediately valued it as their being represented; each “month” was kept on the walls of
bars, stores, houses, and ranches; it thus comprised a base for the first popular and gaucho art
gallery; in our time bringing together a complete collection of these almanacs is practically
impossible due to the custom of the people in tearing off, month by month, the pages of the
almanac to show it on the walls of their houses or business(106745)

Gomez-Peña, Guillermo. DOC/UNDOC DOCUMENTADO/UNDOCUMENTED ARS
SHAMÁNICA PERFORMÁTICA. Santa Cruz, California: Moving Parts Press. 65 copies of
which 15 make up a deluxe edition housed in an elaborate electronic case. 15 stand alone
books have gone to the five collaborators. 35 copies, the balance of the edition, have been
available for just over a year. Of these the printer has held back 10, leaving only 15 copies for
sale (this number is the later).
The result of a seven-year collaboration with Guillermo Gomez-Peña, Gustavo Vazquez,
Jennifer González and Zachary Watkins, the book is a multiple media production. What does it
mean to be documented or undocumented? How do these terms work across borders and
boundaries such as those that exist between nations and language? What are the forms of
policing and regulation that maintain such categories out of fear, cultural difference or economic
domination? What parts of our lives are documented and what parts remain undocumented?
The object itself carries within a crisis of identity: What is it exactly? A stage for an intimate one-
on-one performance? An unusual video screening room? A personal multi-media altar? A
“vanity” used for preparing for a performance? It is all these things and it is also an original
book, a performative artists’ book in search of a new format and a new audience. Each element
stands by itself, but together they form an indescribable whole. To learn more about this
complex project and see videos and photos of the work, go to:

(sic). La Habana, Cuba]: c. 1835. 10 manuscript pages, letter size.
Curious Cuban manuscript. Horseracing began in Cuba in the colonial period. The Spanish
army kept an equestrian school in Colon. To combat boredom, they carved out a racetrack and
began competing. Soon after, interest in the sport began to flourish, particularly in Camaguey.
Boxes at the racetrack were packed, primarily with members of the Spanish military and their
invited Cuban friends. It was then that, for the first time, spectators began to place bets by
throwing small pouches from their boxes containing ounces of gold, the designated amount for
each round of betting. Later on, horseracing began to catch on among the more popular
classes, giving way to unpleasant situations among the fans. Once the races became more
established, they were scheduled around the feasts of St John and St. Peter, and eventually
became the scene of street fights and other public disturbances. Another problem discussed in
the text is that, despite the fact that masks and all manner of costumes were prohibited, they
were still allowed in Havana and other cities with dense populations. Given all of these
problems, the (anonymous) author of this manuscript suggests abolishing this form of
entertainment once and for all. This is an interesting document that brings to light a grave social
problem in post-colonial Cuba.(106761)

translucent protective envelope, sting attached to inside spine of color pict. portfolio (v.g.
copies, foxing, leaves toned, quite legible). 30 cm (manuscripts); 37 cm (portfolio).
A pair of planning reports regarding Cuba's first railroad. In the first flowering of railroad
technology, just five years after the first test of a passenger train in England, Cuban leaders
became interested in a rail line to carry sugar and coffee from inland Güines to the port in
Havana. On August 8, 1830, Cuba established the first commission, "Junta de Caminos de
Hierro, to meet to consider building a railroad. Failed Güines canal engineer Francisco Lemaur
and Manuel Pastor were asked to be technical advisors. Location, costs and profitability were
key to developing a plan. The first of the objectives was reached quickly. John L. Sullivan and
engineer from the United States brought in a proposals. Regarding the objective of the location
of the route, the brother of Francisco, Felix Lemaur, brought in a report that was preferred by
the Junta. Felix Lemaur also brought in a practical and honest economic budget proposal with a
high profit margin. January 22, 1831, the junta made the final report and ended its task after
agreeing to publish the report. A year passed without any effort to carry out the plans. In 1832
with reorganization of the colonial administration in Cuba the railroad project and it would take
three years and a new group of engineers to build the railroad. (See Zanetti & Garcia, Sugar &
Railroads: A Cuban History, pages 18-33.) The first document is titled 'Informe sobre el proyecto
del camino de carriles de hierro dende esta plasa a la villa de Giünes' [sic] and the second
longer document is 'Continuación del informe . . ."The first discusses the pros and cons of
different routes, while the second discusses some of the engineering considerations that had
been raised by American consultant John L. Sullivan, and compares the merits of steam power
versus the much less expensive horse-drawn cars. These documents are of considerable
importance to the history of Cuba and to the development of railroads in the Americas
2. Wright, Benjamin H. TWO LETTERS DISCUSSING THE RESULTS OF SURVEYS IN
PREPARATION FOR THE FIRST RAILROAD IN CUBA. Two letters, translated from English
originals, detailing Engineer Benjamin H. Wright's findings during his land survey in Cuba in
1834. New York: 1834-1835. 6[6]pp, plus blank integral leaf; [4]pp. Bifolium. (Minor toning and
offsetting, old fold lines; minor worming and government stamp on final page of second
document. Very Good). Civil engineer Benjamin Wright, who gained notoriety from his
construction of the Erie Canal, was the first engineer contracted to begin work on Cuba's
premiere railroad He was unable to travel to Cuba personally and put the work into the hand of
German-American engineer Alfred Cruger, with his son Benjamin H. Wright assisting. The
young Wright travelled to Cuba in 1834, where her performed surveys of the proposed land.
However, Cruger and Wright soon clashed, resulting in Wright's resignation from the project.
The first document describes his survey of the roads in Havana, with suggestions for effective
and cost efficient repairs and consideration for issues such as water drain off in preparation for
laying down the railroad tracks. He also discusses the pros and cons of the innovative
Macadam Method, a relatively new type of road construction invented by John Loudon McAdam
in 1820. The second letter was written just after his resignation from the project and savors of
bitterness in his opinions about the direction of the project.

April of 1835 with Benjamin Wright, Jr., and this report by the railroad's noted German-American
chief engineer was issued six months after his arrival in Cuba, and two years before the
project's completion. He discusses in detail the engineering obstacles involved in two different
routes between Havana and Rincón. Cruger and Wright soon clashed, resulting in Wright's
resignation from the project. Zanetti & Garcia state that Crugar should be considered the first
builder of the Cuban railroad. (See Zanetti & Garcia, Sugar & Railroads: A Cuban History,
pages 18-33, 114.) Crugar printed a book in 1841 in Havana with a full report with only three
copies showing in OCLC.
A fascinating archive of manuscript material in three parts that spans the first planning
documents to the first report of the first railroad builder in Cuba. Three of the most significant
engineers are represented in this archive. These documents are of considerable importance to
the history of Cuba and to the development of the railroads in the Americas.(106612)

Bray, Robert E. ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR VIEW TITLES "GUAYMAS, SONORA"
1882 BY THE ARTIST. Additional pencil note: "Taken from the Hotel Ferrocarril in 1881."
Watercolor measures 11 x 16 inches on larger mat (12 x 17 1/4 inches) Very Good (There is
another portrait pasted behind this one, apparently showing a Mexican officer and his wife).
In 1876, near the time of this painting, Lippinoctt's Gazetteer said of Guaymas: "Its habor is the
one of the best on the West Coast of Mexico, and it has an active and increasing trade."
This view shows a number of small vessels in port and some buildings in town, and the artist
notes that this view was apparently painted from the Hotel Ferrocarril.
Not much is known of Robert Bray; he is listed in Huges, ARTISTS IN CALIFORNIA, 1786-1940
as a resident of Los Angeles in 1902-1903.(106756)

On the 20th of August of 1918 the mutual desire of forty eight men and one woman gave life to
the Society of Bibliophiles Argentinos at the National Library, which was under the direction of
Paul Groussac. The joint efforts and perseverance in the work realized by its members from its
creation until the present has achieved the production of many of the most beautiful books
published in Argentina. The volumes bring together in perfect harmony many of the most
representative texts of the literary and historical life in Argentina with illustrators and artists of
recognized importance. From Sarmiento to Mansilla, from Lugones to Bioy Casares, throughout
these “works of literary art”, there runs the presence of the most significant personalities of the
century, interpreted through their art by prestigious artists such as Alfredo Guido, Alberto
Güiraldes, E. Fernández Chelo, Aida Carvallo, and many others. As “non commercial”
publications designated solely for the members of the “Sociedad de Bibliófilos” the editions of
these books did not go beyond 100 copies, all printed on paper of the finest quality, in different
versions. The COLLECTION that we offer includes ALL of the works published by the Sociedad
de Bibliófilos to the present in addition to publications of varied topics related to book collecting
that complement the collection. According to our research, there is NO complete collection in
the USA or Europe.(106738) $55,000.00

FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST SYSTEMATIC PHILOSOPHICAL TREATISE PRODUCED
AND PRINTED IN SOUTH AMERICA. OF UTMOST INTEREST FOR THE HISTORY OF
SCIENCE IN PERU, AND A LEGENDARY BIBLIOGRAPHICAL RARITY. The author, Nicolás
de Olea, was a Peruvian Jesuit physicist who entered the Company of Jesus in 1652. From
1682 to 1686, he accompanied the Jesuit Provincial Martín de Jáuregui as a consultant to
various Jesuits establishments in the Province of Peru. He is considered a Scholastic
philosopher, a follower of the thought of Saint Thomas Aquinas, but possessing sufficient
ideological expansiveness to cite Thomas Campanella, Giordano Bruno, Tycho Brahe, and
other founders and exponents of the New Science. In this treatise, the author introduces the
philosophy of René Descartes in Perú. Galileo is also mentioned in the text. A second part was
printed in 1694 by the same printer, only held at JCB and the Medina collection. OCLC: 3 copies
