Sebastián de ARMENDÁRIZ,
Diario del assedio, y expugnacion de la ciudad de Buda, metropoli del reyno de Ungria
En la imprenta de Rafael Figuero|Barcelona 1686|14.8 x 19.9 cm|Relié
Extremely rare reissue of this journal. None of the institutions consulted hold this edition (see Palau, 71807).
Contemporary full ivory vellum binding with overlapping edges, flat spine with calligraphic title running lengthwise, boards slightly soiled.
The book was most likely reinserted into its original binding; a few small stains.
The first Spanish edition was issued the same year in Seville by Sebastián de Armendáriz - bookseller, publisher, and forerunner of Spanish journalism - at the press of Thomas Lopez de Haro.
It appears that the document used as the basis for Armendáriz’s account was a report by an eyewitness to the events, Count Paolo Amerighi.</
