historia movimientos - MELO (Francisco Manuel de), pseud. LIBERTINO (Clemente) HISTORIA de los Movimientos y Separacion de Cataluña; y de la Guerra entre la Magestad Catolica de Don Filipe el Cuarto Rey de Castilla, y de Aragon, y la Deputacion General de aquel Principado [...] . En San Vicente: Por Paulo Craesbeeck, 1645. [ ]7, A-V8, X5; [7], 165 ff.; 205 mm. First edition of one of the most important historical works by Francisco Manuel de Melo (1608–1666), written under the pseudonym Clemente Libertino . Published in 1645, during the author's period of seclusion, the Historia de los Movimientos y Separación de Cataluña gives a detailed and erudite account of the Catalan revolt of 1640 and the subsequent war between the Principality of Catalonia and the monarchy of Philip IV of Spain. Although in the form of a historical chronicle, the work reflects Melo's personal and political perspective, close to the Spanish court, and is critical of the Catalan separatist movement. The choice of a pseudonym was intended to ensure some distance and protection, although the authorship was quickly recognized. Written in an elegant and classical style, this work is today considered a landmark in the political historiography of the 17th century on the peninsula and a direct testimony to one of the most important conflicts of the time. The present edition, printed in San Vicente, is particularly valued for its rarity and historical context. ! Please note that this translated text was generated by Google. !
