The first Mexican edition of a scarce work originally published in Spain in 1702. The work, centered on God and the Holy Trinity, emanates from the pen of a Capuchin from Seville - hence his religious name. Feliciano de Sevilla served as a missionary in Andalucia and not, as was once thought, as a missionary in Mexico. The volume concludes with a "Corona Florida a la Santisima Trinidad," a small literary collection of coplas, canciones, and a romance "en Metafora del Sol, que discurre por los doce signos del Zodiaco."
