El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha

One of the few examples of the second, fraudulent edition of Don Quixote by Jorge Rodríguez. On the title page a very rough xylographic engraving the drawing of which seems to be from the fifteen century or early sixteenth century: a knight on horseback bearing his sword in an attitude of attacking, preceded by a squire with a pike. The last folio has no number and the penultimate one wrongly states 309. Somewhat incorrect text. Beautiful example bound by Brugalla in 1975 in brown leather, with the ribs highlighted and a stiff protective casing.
