Title: Pedro Blasquez Memoria sobre el maguey mexicano (Agave Maximilianea) [manuscript]
Creator:
Blasquez, Ignacio
Creator:
Blasquez, Pedro
Identifier/Call Number: Biomed.0023
Physical Description:
1 unknown
(1 volume, manuscript; [44] p., 2 leaves of plates : ill. ; 27 cm.)
Date: 1864
Abstract: Contains 22 sheets of light blue lined paper and 2 thick sheets of cream paper, upon which are mounted the 2 plates. The volume
has been set up to resemble a published book--even though it is handwritten--replete with a mock title page (title, place,
date, surrounded by a border), blank t.p. verso, dedication page (with blank verso), text (divided by chapter headings) extending
to the recto of the last blue sheet, finally, the verso of the last sheet describes the figures found on the following plates.
The ruled paper shows evidence of having been folded in half, and there is a large manila envelope (which could have accommodated
the folded ms.) mounted on a binding sheet in front. The address area of the envelope has been mostly obliterated by a piece
of paper pasted over it, which reads: Original de la Memoria sobre el Maguii mexicano por D. Pedro Blasquez. There is an official
stamp on the envelope: Imperio Mexicano - Secretaria de Estado y Negocios. This ms., therefore, was probably made as a presentation
copy for Maximilian and Carlotta.
Language of Material: Materials are in Spanish.
Open for research. STORED OFF-SITE AT SRLF. Advance notice is required for access to the collection. Please contact UCLA Library
Special Collections for paging information.
