Description: Two Important Leather Bound Works on Latin American History and Historiography from Library of Renowned Latin American Historian The prior owner of these books, who had them bound in half leather over cloth boards, was Murdo J. MacLeod (b. 1935), a Scottish historian of Latin America, who published extensively on the history of colonial-era Central America, the Caribbean, and the Atlantic world. Signed. William C. Atkinson, A History of Spain & Portugal, 1960 Penguin Books (Harmondsworth, Middlesex, England), 4 1/2 x 7 1/4 inches tall half leather bound, gilt lettering to spine (including the prior owner's name to the bottom of the spine), green page marker bound in, index, 382 pp. - Attempts to show as a whole the peninsula made up of Spain and Portugal, with the slow unfolding of a pattern of society and an attitude to life still subtly distinct from those north of the Pyrenees. The successive occupations of Roman, Visigoth and Muslim span between them more than a thousand years. The Peninsula's great contribution to the modern age was the opening up of the New World in the west by Spain, and of new routes to the east by Portugal. Over the last century and a half the history of both peoples provides a case-study in the essential relativity of forms of government. Author William C Atkinson (1902-1992) was Professor of Hispanic Studies, University of Glasgow, 1932–72; Director, Institute of Latin-American Studies, 1966–72; author of this history; and translator of Camões' The Lusiads. In Spanish. Francisco Antonio de Fuentes y Guzmán, Preceptos Historiales, 1957 Editorial del Ministerio de Educacion publica (Guatemala), 6 x 8 inches tall half leather bound, gilt lettering to spine (including the prior owner's name to the bottom of the spine), gold page marker bound in, 150 pp. - This is an uncommon 1957 imprint of a rare work of Guatemalan historiography first published by Francisco Antonio de Fuentes y Guzmán in the 17th century. Fuentes y Guzmán divides the subject into divine history, which teaches religion; human history, which teaches prudence; and natural history, which teaches science.
