[Inquisition in Mexico]

Instruccion para la visita de los navios en los puertos de la nueva España y distrito de la Inquisicion de Mexico, S.a. [c.1618]. S.l. [Mexico].
The Inquisition in Mexico: ships inspected at the ports of America for forbidden books

Extraordinarily rare and relevant document from the Mexican Inquisition forbidding the entry of books amongst other objects into the Viceroyalty of New Spain, this time not merely addressing the population but ordering the checking of the ships arriving at the port. This is one of two editions of presumably the same year, this one unknown in any other example and the other known in a single example, at the JCB.
