PIÑEYRO, Luis (1560-1620)

Relacion del Sucesso que tuvo Nuestra Santa Fe en los Reynos del Japon. Madrid: Alonso Martin de Balboa, 1617.

First edition of a rare source book on Japanese-Western affairs in the early seventeenth century, written by a Spanish Jesuit. The work is divided into five parts, on the Japanese and the causes of their persecution of Christians, and on the expulsion of the missionaries and its effects, principally covering the period 1612-1615. It includes a list of Christian martyrs 1574-1615 and the location of the Jesuit missions in Japan. The imperial edict of 1614 which ordered the expulsion of the missionaries marked the beginning of the end of the Christian Church in Japan. Cordier Japonica, 290; Palau XIII, 226932 ('Muy raro').



Folio (283 x 197mm). Woodcut arms on title, woodcut initials, text printed in double column with double ruled border (a few minor marginal spots or stains). 19th-century blue morocco by Emile Rousselle, sides with gilt triple rule, spine richly gilt in compartments, all edges gilt (extremities lightly rubbed). Provenance: British Museum (stamps on title verso and final leaf, ‘1831 Duplicate for Sale’ stamp on title verso).
