1732
In 1731, a royal decree again approved the native printing of Spanish liturgical books, and called for a discussion of ways and means to this end. Bordazar had already submitted to Philip V a carefully drawn-up memorial in which he represented that types, paper, and ink could be as easily procured, and books as successfully produced, in Spain as in the Netherlands, and he now received the royal authority to print this document. This he did in the year 1732, at Valencia…in a handsomely printed tractate of some twenty folio pages.
The texto was used in Yriarte’s Obras Sueltas, printed at Madrid by Franciso Manuel de Mena in 1774, and apparently, with the change of a few letters, in Bayer’s De Numis Hebræo-Samaritanis, printed at Valencia by Benito Monfort in 1781.
