HISTORIA Geral de Hespanha. Composta em Castelhano por El-Rey de Leão e Castella D Afonso, o Sabio. Trasladada em Portuguez por El-Rey D. Diniz ou por seu mandado, e continuada na parte que diz respeito a Portugal até ao anno de 1455, no Reinado d’El-Rey D. Affonso V. Copiada fielmente do original que se guarda na Bibliotheca Imperial de Pariz pelo Conselheiro Antonio Nunes de Carvalho. Coimbra: Imprensa Litteraria, 1863.

192 pp.; 280 mm. Half calf; trimmed.

First printed edition of the Crónica Geral de Espanha as translated into Portuguese by D. Dinis from the manuscript in the Imperial Library of Paris. Chapters 1 to 202 were published, the work being incomplete. According to a handwritten note by a former owner, this was due to the death of the copier and publisher. Very rare.
