[Casal y Aguado, Manuel]. pseud Lucas Alemán - El Gavilán Volando ó Sea El Tribunal de Los Descontentos Y Mártires Casados: Carta de Don Lucas Aleman á El Lector Blanco ó Tinto Que le Depare la Suerte

Madrid, Imprenta de I. Sancha, 1820. First edition. Marbled paper wrappers with manuscript title. 23 pp. Pages 1-4, and 21-23 are repeated and bound in. 6 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches. Manuel Casal y Aguado, (1751-1837) received a doctor of Medicine from Universidad Valenciana in 1775. He practiced medicine in Madrid, was successful in publishing both original and translated works on medicine, and was dean of the Academia Medica Quirurgica Matritense. Parallel to his professional activity, he maintained constant literary activity throughout his life, using the anagram-pseudonym of Lucas Alemán: he collaborated in the Correo de los Ciegos and Correo de Madrid —and in the various newspapers that appeared— publishing letters, articles and poetry..""mantuvo una festiva polémica literaria en el Diario de Madrid, y publicó en 1813 y 1814 la Pajarera literaria, colección de folletos satirico politicos contra los franceses, que obtuvieron mucha popularidad." (Jerónimo Herrera Navarro: Manuel Casal y Aguado, La Real Academia de la Historia . dbe.rah.es/biografias/72709/). The present work, "El gavilán volando" (The flying hawk) continues that theme. Very uncommon: OCLC and other online databases show four holding locations only: Univ. Toronto, Washington Univ. British Library, and CSIC Spain. Also one at Univ. Conn. Palau 46740. Wrappers detached, duplicate pages bound in, still a clean copy.
