The Recoleta has at least sixteen volumes from various editions of the Suma de la theologia moral, by Corella and Cintruenigo (see more volumes here). This particular copy of part six of the 1734 edition has some interesting interventions.

First, the title page shows evidence of poor masking and registration when printing the red and black. Notice the doubled tilde of “Señora” under “Virgen Maria.”

Second, there are some math problems on the pastedown inside the back cover. I recognize the 1734 from the date of publication. Was this a user from 1862 trying to work out how many years it had been since the book was published?

Third, we have an undated note in Spanish that was used as a bookmark. We haven not yet tried to translate it, so any attempts would be welcome.

Fourth, the marca de fuego.
