An authoritative and extremely popular history of Mexico, this work was regularly reprinted for more than a century. The sources were the letters of Hernan Cortés, the works of Francisco Lopez de Gomara, Bernal Diaz del Castillo, and some miscellaneous documents. There is a full account of the relations between Cortés and Montezuma and an abundance of data concerning the intimate lives of the Indians. Solys y Rivadeneyra, a Spanish dramatist and historian, was secretary to the Count of Oropeza and later secretary of state and private secretary to Philip IV. He obtained the lucrative post of chronicler of the Indies in 1667. The Historia, covering the three years between the appointment of Cortés to command the invading force and the fall of the city of Mexico, deservedly ranks as a Spanish prose classic. A continuation of the Historia was published in 1743 by Ignacio Salazar y Olarte (cfr. The Hill Collection,1600, p. 569).Cfr. anche Palau,XXI,470 - Morazzoni,p. 227. Lieve alone marginale sulle prime 3 cc., altrimenti esemplare ben conservato.‎
