Eguía's prints are known for their distinctive typesetting in purist Gothic and round fonts, their illustrative and ornamental woodcut initials with an artistic character (of which 4 or 8 are set here), the use of red and black ink and the good quality of the paper. In addition, Eguía was famous for the renewal of Spanish printing through the use of architectural borders in the Renaissance style. The present woodcut title pages are a good example of this: "Estimulo de Amor" consists of a central typographic title print with a series of emblematic illustrations in combination with floral ornaments, "Soliloquio" additionally contains a portrait of Bonaventura reading. - Although incunabula and early prints of Bonaventura's works in the original Latin and in translation as well as prints by the Spanish master Eguía are frequently traded at auction, according to the RBH and JBP/JAP/APO there are no auction results for the present editions. According to USTC, OCLC/WorldCat, KVK and viaLibri Library Search, only 6 holdings of (I) are listed worldwide in institutional collections, of which only one copy is outside the Iberian Peninsula. Only 5 copies of (II) are known, none of them outside Spain. - Fragments of partially erased previous owner's notes and erased owner's stamp, a few leaves with very few underlinings and marginal notes. Some leaves with light foxing and small water stains in the margins. Overall an extremely well-preserved copy of this rare anthology.
