De la filosofia de las armas y de su destreza y de la agresion y defension christiana

Manuscript 1582 Spanish Spain

Jeronimo Sanchez de Carranza

Principal Carranza printed witness line. The local anchor already preserved the 1582 circulation, while Gelli also cites a very rare 1560 witness under closely related wording. The record keeps the 1582 anchor and exposes the earlier witness publicly rather than splitting uncertain duplicates without fuller collation.

Castle preserves both the 1569 San Lucar state and the 1582 Lisbon witness for Carranza, exposing the earlier state without splitting the work family.

Leguina 1891 gives the 1582 printing at Sanlucar de Barrameda and explicitly rejects a separate 1569 printed edition, while Vigeant 1882 reports a Lisbon 1582 witness. The local record keeps 1582 as canonical and treats the differing place reports as bibliographical witnesses within the same work family.

Primary 1582 edition record consolidated from secondary bibliography. Leguina 1891 places the printing at Sanlucar de Barrameda and describes 32 preliminary leaves, 280 foliated leaves, and 14 leaves of vocabulary and table. Vigeant 1882 separately reports a Lisbon 1582 witness in large octavo with two woodcut frontispieces, privileges, verse epistle, letters, prologue, and sonnets. Until a directly collated copy is anchored locally, both place reports are retained here as witness notes rather than split editions.

Quality phase 101e: physical extent recovered after unique-expression review; composite collation preserved where present.
