The major part of the text is dedicated to the festivities organized in 1729 for the king’s visit.

It came out of the presses of the vicar Florencio Joseph de Blàs y Quesada († 1754), appointed principal printer of Seville in 1722, and who mostly edited religious texts like sermons, prayers, etc. (cf. Clara Palmiste, L’Organisation du commerce du livre à Séville au xviiièsiècle).

This edition is decorated with a beautiful architectural title-frontispiece engraved by Juan Fernandez, and 2 great folding plates engraved on copper and based on the Sevillian painter Pedro Tortolero (approx. 770 x 240 mm). The first shows the triumphal entrance of Philippe V in Seville on 3 February 1729, and the second illustrates the procession of the relics of saint Ferdinand III to the cathedral of Seville on 14 May 1729.

A precious and attractive copy, preserved in its first contemporary limp vellum binding.

Provenance : Library of the queen Amelia of Portugal, with her engraved armorial ex-libris.
Handwritten contemporary ex-libris at the foot of the title-frontispiece of Don Lope de Olloqui de Séville.
Small humid stamp repeated on the title-frontispiece and the last leaf.
