A MEXICAN INCUNABLE: THE FIRST DICTIONARY OF THE NEW WORLD, second edition overall and first complete edition; in Spanish and Nahuatl, the Aztec language. The first edition (1555) comprises 259 quarto leaves, the present is expanded to 283 folios.
"This second and enlarged edition is so scarce that forty years ago Lord Kingsborough paid 50 guineas for it. The Buyer should be careful to secure a copy with title-pages to both parts, for sometimes the first title-page being deficient the enterprise of a dealer induces him to put the second in its place, as it reads nearly the same; the woodcut however, represents San Francisco, and differs from the escutcheon on the first title. Rich and other bibliographers erroneously supposed that this was the first book printed in America" (Sabin 49867).
