FINELY BOUND BY MIRALLES for an unknown Catalonian collector. The 1640 revolt in Catalonia, known as 'the Reapers' War', embroiled Spain in a larger war with France as many Catalan nobles allied themselves with Louis XIII. This work, by a member of the Rocaberti family, argues against the adoption of French rule. Goldsmith D-7; Palau IV, 68170.
