Publication: Antwerp, Joannes Keerberg (Ioannes Keerbergium), 1622.

Formatting: Thick 4to.

Condition Report: Good. The book is bound in contemporary full calf which, whilst entirely sound and tightly bound, exhibits the expected wear of a seventeenth-century volume. The boards are rubbed with scattered scuffs, and the corners are bumped with exposure to the underlying boards. The spine features six raised bands, with a contemporary ink manuscript title in the second compartment; however, there is notable chipping and loss to the leather at the headcap, exposing the headband, along with some cracking to the joints. Internally, the text block remains remarkably tight. The original unsized endpapers are retained, and the red-stained edges are faded but still visible. The pages themselves are generally crisp and clean, with only minor toning and occasional faint spotting, presenting a well-preserved interior that contrasts with the exterior wear.

Catalogue Note: This 1622 Antwerp edition represents the first part of the second volume (Tomi Secundi... Pars Prima) of Juan de Cartagena's theological discourses on the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph. The title page features an engraved vignette depicting the Virgin Mary as the Immaculate Conception surrounded by radiant light with the motto 'Sol Oriens'.

The book bears a faint, early handwritten ownership inscription to the upper margin of the 'Typographus Lectori' leaf, indicating early institutional or private provenance.

A fascinating early seventeenth-century theological treatise on the Virgin Mary and St. Joseph, penned by the prominent Spanish Franciscan theologian Juan de Cartagena. This edition delves deep into Catholic mariology, exploring the Conception, Nativity, Annunciation, and Visitation of the Virgin Mary. Preserved in its original full calf binding, this volume offers a tangible connection to the vibrant religious scholarship of the post-Tridentine era, complete with a beautifully engraved title-page vignette.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
