20.2x14.7 cm ; 7 7/8 x 5 3/4 inches (small quarto), three volumes: pp. [1-24], 1-240; [1-8], 1-564; [1-8], 1-436, historiated initial letters, head and tailpieces, four engraved folded maps (the first in volume one, the others in volume three), original full vellum, spine panels lettered by hand. First edition. "First attempt at a history of California. Based, by the anonymous editor, Father Andrés Marcos Burriel, on Venegas's 1739 MS., but incorporating information from other sources. Volume three of the original Spanish edition contains account of discoveries on the Northwest coast attacking, as fictitious, the then accepted voyages of de Fonte and de Fuca" (Howes). "This work is considered the foundation of a library of Californiana. Although his name does not appear, Padre Andrés Marcos Burriel was the editor. Other than Cabrera, Burriel was the first writer whose sound sense allowed him to reject the apocryphal voyages as unworthy of credit, restricting northern geography, which comprises one of the volumes, to actual discoveries, and to correctly define in print the peninsula of California and the regions of the Colorado and Gila as far as known. The first map contains a border of ten vignettes, within which is a map of California. The vignettes show inhabitants and animals of the country, and the martyrdoms of Padres Carranco and Tamaral. The second map is of lands adjacent to the upper part of the Gulf of California, 1747, after the Jesuit missionary Consag. The third is of the South sea or Pacific ocean between the equator and 39° 30 n. lat. This has been copied from Anson, by Joseph Gonzalez. The fourth is a general map of the North Pacific ocean showing Asia and America, being engraved by Manuel Rodriguez, 1756. The maps have historical value and represent surveys made down to 1754, although the MS. of the work itself was written in 1739. The text was supplemented by fresh information, sent home from the missions for that purpose, so that the matter is brought fully down to the date of publication" (Cowan). ". the most extensive account of Lower California of its period. Concluded in Mexico in 1739, the NOTICIA was extensively revised and brought up to 1750 in Spain by Fr. Andrés Marcos Burriel, who restricted the account to actual voyages, rejecting all apocryphal material. It was presumably allowed to be published to counteract anti-Jesuit statements in accounts of Anson's voyage. The first two volumes are concerned entirely with Lower California. Volume III contains extracts from Lopez de Gomara and Torquemada relating to early Northwest Coast explorations, including an account of the 1602-03 Vizcaino expedition, taken by Torquemada from the diary of Father Antonio de la Ascension" (Howell). "Venegas is the principal source of information about the explorations made by Father Consag in 1746 by which the question of the insularity of California was finally set at rest. Consag's description of the Gulf of California and the mouth of the Colorado River received wide publicity through the volumes of Venegas" (Farquhar). Cowan (1933), p. 659.

In cloth chemises and a half morocco and cloth slipcase, spine gilt. The first edition of this classic history of California, frequently reprinted in various languages. Published in Madrid in 1757, Venegas' work is the first general history of California and of the Spanish on the Pacific Coast and into the far Southwest, including southern Arizona and northern Sonora. It broke the general Spanish practice of concealing as much information as possible about their activities and possessions in America. Noted bibliographer Henry R. Wagner expressed surprise that the work was permitted to be published at all, and also states that the work "contains more on Lower California than almost any other book that had been published in one hundred and fifty years." Anonymously edited by Father Andrés Marcos Burriel, who based the work on Venegas's 1739 manuscript but incorporated additional information from other sources. Volume three of this original Spanish edition contains [an] account of discoveries on the Northwest coast attacking, as fictitious, the then-accepted voyages of de Fonte and de Fuca." The folding map in the first volume shows the Baja Peninsula of California and the Gulf of California from the Colorado River down to Cape St. Lucas, with part of Sonora and Sinaloa in the south and the Gila River and Apache territory to the north. The four plates surrounding the map depict the peoples and animals found in California as well as the Martyrdom of Jesuits there. Cowan asserts that all four plates appear in "but a few copies of the work, as two is the number usually found." "Volume III contains extracts from Lopez de Gomara and Torquemada relating to the early explorations on the northwest coast and several articles written by Father Burriel himself. Of these the most interesting is his account of the construction of the map of California, and of the general map of North America.The extract from Torquemada relates to the Vizcaino expedition of 1602 and 1603 which Torquemada took from the diary of Father Antonio de la Ascension" - ZAMORANO 80.
