8vo. in 4, ff. (7), 63, (2). Bound with Treintenario de misas, llamado de S. Vicente. Valencia, Josef Estevan y Cervera, 1778, pp. (1), 2-16. Second edition (1st ed. Mexico, 1716). The present work is the only known copy of this particular edition of Spanish-language meditations on the "Celestial Revelations" of Saint Bridget of Sweden (Birgitta Birgersdotter, ca. 1303-1373), the Swedish mystic and founder of the Bridgettine Order. The book contains long excerpts from Bridget's writings, translated into Spanish and apparently marks the first appearance of any part of Bridget's "Revelations" printed in the New World. The book was intended as a guide for priests, and the quotations from Saint Bridget regard the institution of the priesthood and the role and conduct of its members. The author is the Jesuit Antonio Nadal, about whom very little is known. His book achieved three editions, all printed in New Spain (Mexico 1716, Guatemala 1717, Lima 1751) but it is unclear where he resided. The following passages from Saint Bridget's "Revelations" are quoted (in Spanish) in the course of the text: Book I, chapters 17, 47; Book II, chapters 2, 20; Book IV chapters 32, 58, 59, 62, 69, 133,
