From dealer's description:"PELLICER DE TOVAR, José de. Mission evangelica al reyno de Congo por la serafica religion de los Capuchinos. Dedicala al Rey nuestro Señor que Dios guarde. Madrid, Por Domingo Garcia i Morràs, 1649. FIRST EDITION. 4to, [8] leaves, 74 pages. Sir Thomas Phillipps shelf-mark in ink on upper pastedown. Title within type-ornament border. Title vignette: royal arms of Spain. "Descripcion del reyno de Congo," f. 47-73. Contemp. limp vellum with ties, ms. title to spine. An Excellent copy. The work of José Pellicer de Ossau Salas y Tovar stands out from the various 17th-century relations on black Africa. First of all, it focuses on Congo, while most missionary accounts of the time were dedicated to Abyssinia. In addition to having all the features of a classic missionary relation, it contains some important elements that classify it in a somewhat different subcategory of the missionary travel relation. The author is a layman, although the work is developed around the mission of the Capuchins in the Kingdom of Congo. He did not take part in the journey, but his account is based on the information given to him by one of the protagonists of that evangelical mission, Fray Ángel de Valencia, and on the account of another missionary, Fray Juan Francisco de Roma. Furthermore, this is the most extensive among the 17th-century relations on Africa, precisely because of the diversity of the topics covered in it. Contrary to missionaries, Pellicer used the ethnographic approach extensively, dedicating almost twenty-eight pages to the description of the physical and human geography of Congo. He carried out a detailed description of the local culture in all its aspects. The mission was planned by Pope Paul V in 1620 in response to a request for missionaries from the Catholic King Alvarez II of Congo. Because of political difficulties the mission was delayed until 1644-1645. Palau 216757; Gay 3080; Brunet, IV, 474. Yale, N YPL, Indiana.
