Designed by him, with very stylish prints on the sides, all of them originally sculpted in copper by Filipino artists, it is one of the most coveted maps by collectors from all over the world.\n\nThis copy is truly extraordinary, not only because of its excellent state of preservation, despite the delicate paper on which it was printed, but also because it contains two exceptional engravings that are often auctioned separately. As early as 1906, the bibliographer Retana noted how difficult it was to find a copy with both engravings. The first is a reproduction in a smaller scale of his well-known map, sculpted by the Philippine printer Nicolás de la Cruz Bagay. The second one features Virgen de la Rosa, of much devotion in the then town of San Pedro Makati, and Nuestra Señora de la Paz y Buen Viaje, patroness of Antipolo, a work of Tagalog artist Lorenzo Atlas.\n\nThis is the second Jesuit history of the archipelago, after Labor Evangélica (Madrid, 1663), by Father Francisco Colín, and covers the years 1616-1716, as the title indicates. The first and third parts focus on the actions of the Jesuits in the Philippines, the second part is focused on the missions of Mindanao and Sulu, while the fourth part speaks of the vicissitudes of the Society in the Mariana Islands and the discovery of the Palau Islands. Unlike other ecclesiastical chronicles, he does not focus only on missionary activities and devotes much attention to the decisions of the governors — whom he often judges harshly— as well as naval battles against piracy and the Dutch, revolts of the Sangleyes and civil affairs in general. It is a historiographical masterpiece that deserves to be fully translated for Filipino readers.\n\nA Devotion to the Two Historic Marian Images in the Philippines\n\nThe frontispiece depicts the two popular Marian images that were worshipped in the Philippines from the 17th century until today. The Virgen de la Rosa is the patroness of Makati and the miraculous image is presently housed in the church of the Parish of St. Peter and Paul in Poblacion, Makati.\n\nHistory records that the image was brought to the Philippines through the Manila-Acapulco galleon by Jesuit priest Fr. Juan Delgado in August 10, 1718. It was said to have a special reliquary in its chest that contained a strand of hair from the Virgin Mary. Unfortunately, the reliquary as well as the original ivory head and hands of the image were stolen during the revolution and were never found. Her feastday is celebrated in Makati every June 30.\n\nThe Virgen de la Paz y Buen Viaje (Virgin of Peace and Good Voyage) was brought to the Philippines in 1626 by GovernorGeneral Juan Niño de Tabora. Its intercession for a safe trip was always called upon during journeys of the Manila galleon. It was placed under the care of the Jesuits who originally placed it in the first San Ignacio Church in Intramuros. When Tabora died in 1632, the Jesuits placed the image in their mission in Antipolo where a church was being built. There it stayed and the parish became a popular pilgrimage place for devotees to the Virgin. Her feast day is celebrated every first Tuesday of May.\n\nIt was said that the devotion to the two images became so popular in the Spanish period that the frontispiece in the book celebrated these venerations as part of the history of the religious missions of the Jesuits in the Philippines.
