Summary:

"Las Vigilias de Tasso was the first book printed in the state of Michoacan (1827) and is a very rare book; Compagnoni presented the work as a hitherto unknown work of Tasso, but it was his own creation. The translator, "Lelardo," was in fact Manuel de la Torre Lloreda. in this fine press edition of Las Vigilias, Juan Pascoe's press (Taller Martin Pescador) had invited scholars Catarina Camastra and Moises Guzman Perez to contribute what are significant essays on Las Vigilias, its true author, its Mexican translator, and the work's printer. The essays on the translator and printer are important additionally for the history of the portable press of the Independence era, the Imprenta del Ejercito Imperial de las Tres Garanitas."--Bookseller's description (Philadelphia Rare Books & Manuscripts Company).
