II rebacked preserving original spine, joints a bit rubbed); Index in original printed wrappers. Provenance: Florencio Gavito (bookplate).

LARGE-PAPER COPY. PRICED and with buyers' names in a contemporary hand; second edition of the Index. A valuable resource, tantamount to a bibliography of Spanish books.

Molina Navarro, was published in Madrid in 1913. Taylor, p.25.
