[MARTYRS DU JAPON]

Vida de los santos martyres Pablo, Juan y Diego, hermanos de la Compañia de Jesus. Madrid : Andres de Parra, 1628.

Rarissime plaquette, relatant les vies de trois des "martyrs du Japon". USTC ne recense qu’un seul exemplaire en institutions (Lisbonne, Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, H.G. 3340 P.), et nous ne retrouvons pas d'autre exemplaire dans les bases de données de ventes publiques.

L’ouvrage relate les vies de Paulo Miki, Juan de Gotó et Diego Kisai, trois jésuites qui, le 5 février 1567, furent crucifiés à Nagasaki, sur ordre du daimyo Toyotomi Jideyoshi, en répression de la foi chrétienne. Au total, 26 catholiques, en majorité Japonais, furent suppliciés. Tous furent beatifiés puis canonisés, par les papes Urbain VIII et Pie IX.

USTC : 5024679 ; Wilkinson, Iberian books, n°28020.



In-8 (134 x 92 mm) de 30 pp. (restaurations en marges du premier feuillet). Percaline brune moderne de A. Carmelita, tête rouge.

Provenance : Manuel de Foronda (1840-1920 ; ex-libris).



An extremely scarce brochure, narrating the lives of three of the 26 Martyrs of Japan. USTC only mentions one copy in institutional holdings (Lisbon, Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, H.G. 3340 P.), and online databases do not contain previously auctioned copies.
