*BONIFACIO (Baldassare). Historia Ludicra. Opus ex omni disciplinarum genere, selectâ & jucundâ eruditione refertum. Brussels, Jean Mommart, 1656. In-4 of [10] ff. including engraved frontispiece with portrait of the author, 591-[1]-[34]-[1] pp. Brown calf, ornate ribbed spine (contemporary binding). Headbands torn, jaws partly split, corners dulled. This second edition is enlarged with a life of the author, which is merely a translation of what is said about him in the Glorie degli Incogniti, and a table of contents, very useful for a book of this kind, which is a mixture of research and erudition, divided into books and chapters, but confused and out of order.

[LUNA (Miguel)]. La Vie du Roy Almansor, written by the virtuous Captain Aly Abençufian, viceroy, & governor of the provinces of Deuque in Arabia. Amsterdam, Daniel Elzévier, 1671. In-12 of [6] ff, 202 pp, [1] f. privilege. Blond calf, ornate ribbed spine, red and green title-pieces, triple gilt fillet on covers, arms in center, gilt edges, gilt frieze frame on inside covers (Petit sucr. de Simier). First Elzévirienne edition. This is a translation, by the Jesuit François d'Obeilh or Dobeilh (1634-1716), of Book II of the Segunda parte de la historia de la perdida de Espana, y vida del Rey Iacob Almançor (Granada, Sebastian de Mena, 1600). It is, however, the second French version of this text, which was first printed in French in 1638 (Paris, Germain Clousier). This highly curious text is almost the only literary repercussion in France of a famous Spanish historical hoax: the Granada Morisco Miguel Luna (c. 1550 - 1619), an Arabic-speaking interpreter for King Philip II, claimed to have discovered an 8th-century manuscript entitled La Verdadera hystoria del Rey Don Rodrigo in the Escorial library; he had it published in two successive parts (1592 and 1600), while stuffing it in the margins with Arabic words to "make it true". And, of course, it worked: editions, translations, scholarly commentaries, etc. multiplied, until scholars did justice to it. (Willems, 1437. Palau, 144 083. Backer & Sommervogel III, 106 (no. 6). Copy from the Château de Boussu, and passed into the library of Count Eugène de NÉDONCHEL (who bought Boussu in December 1836), with gilt arms (Nédonchel) in the center of the boards, and bookplate pasted on the first endpapers. A fine copy.
