PALOU, Francisco (ca 1722-ca 1789). Relación Historica de la Vida y Apostolicas Tareas del Venerable Padre Fray Junípero Serra, y de las misiones que fundó en la California Septentrional, y nuevos establecimientos de Monterey. Mexico City: Don Felipe de Zúñiga y Ontiveros, 1787.
8o (192 x 142 mm). Engraved portrait of Junipero Serra, engraved folding map of California by Diego Francoso at end (a few discreetly repaired tears at folds). Contemporary limp vellum, vestiges of decorative gilt paper on spine, remains of ties. Provenance: Colegio de la Santa Cruz de Quetaro (brand on top edges); Padre Fr. Antonio de San Vizente (contemporary presentation inscription by Don Miguel Gonzalez Calderon, one of the patrons on the publication).
"THIS BOOK HAS BEEN CALLED THE MOST NOTED OF ALL BOOKS RELATING TO CALIFORNIA" (Hill)
A FINE ASSOCIATION COPY OF THE FIRST EDITION, first issue, with "Car" instead of "Pro" at the end of the index; the map with the text "Mar Pacifico" added. Calderon, whose presentation to Antonio de San Vizente appears on the front flyleaf, was one of the patrons of the publication, as noted on the title-page.
This is the primary source for the life of father Serra and his founding of the California missions. It was written by his lifelong friend and brother Franciscan. Palou, a fellow Majorcan, was Serra's pupil and constant companion during the whole course of his career as a missionary in California. The two missionaries were among the earliest to arrive in Alta California, establishing the first missions there, and they had a profound influence on the Indians of the region.
Wheat notes that the map was published in Mexico City "to illustrate Father Francisco Palou's celebrated life of Father Junipero Serra... This map shows only the California coast and peninsula, with nothing eastward of the mouths of the Colorado and Gila rivers, but while its main purpose was to trace the travels of Father Serra during his years of service along the western coast, it is of interest here because it seems to be the first on which a boundary line was drawn between Lower and Upper California... As will be later noted, the line thus shown was not the boundary eventually established, even at its western end" (Wheat, pp. 128-129). Cowan p. 171; Graff 3179; Hill pp. 200-221; Howes P-56; Jones 607; Sabin 58932; Streeter sale IV:2450; Wagner Spanish Southwest 168; Wheat Mapping the Transmississippi West 208; Zamarano 80 59.
