A patriotic collection of eminent lives, juxtaposing great Spanish names, like Philip II, James the Conqueror, Hernán Cortés, with heroes from antiquity, including Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, and Constantine the Great. Published in 1690 and evidently reissued later, as here, with the date changed on the engraved title. Palau VII, 130347.
