FRAY DOMINGO COLLANTES (1747-1814).
Historia de la Provincia del Santísimo Rosario de Filipinas, china y Tunquín. Orden de Predicadores. Manila, por Juan Francisco de los Santos, 1783. 2° (29 x 19cm). Title within decorative woodcut border, (marginal neat repairs to about 26 leaves.) Modern vellum.
The final work in the great four part chronicle of the Dominican order in the far east, begun in 1640 by Diego de Aduarte. Paradoxically, the present work is probably the rarest and certainly the most accurately compiled. It covers events from 1700 to 1765, and includes chronological lists of Dominicans, and secular rulers, which also give important biographical information. Vindel 2204 ("Esta parte...es también la más rara de las cuatro"), Retana 377, Medina 315.
