Libro de la destreza berdadera de las armas

Book 1640 Spanish Spain

Luis Méndez de Carmona

Created from Gelli as a manuscript notice. External manuscript description identifies the work as an autograph or authorial manuscript by Luis Méndez de Carmona, associated with Seville and dated 1640.

Thimm also preserves a 1640 manuscript witness of this title with one heraldic plate and about 240 leaves. The older weak shell has been folded into this manuscript record.

Quality phase 191: the two local shells described the same autograph manuscript and were consolidated; detailed collation replaces the approximate 240-leaf statement.
