Description: Pamplona: por Joseph Ezquerro, 1729. 4to. [8], 260p. An edition printed on fairly low quality paper. Small hole in title-page affecting one printer's ornament. Marginal tear in P1 (without loss of text); paper flaws in T3 and T4 slightly affecting a few letters; paper flaw in V1 affecting 4 words; clean tears in 2A3 and 2D1; 2H2 and 2H3 shaved at foot with slight loss. Final few quires are a little dog-eared and have marginal damp-stains. Contemporary vellum (worn and cockled), remains of two ties; modern endpapers. ***** Poet and soldier from Toledo, Lobo took part in the war of the Spanish Succession on the side of Philip V, but aroused that monarch's displeasure by his satire Exhortación politico-cristiana a la nación espa–ola, in which he bewailed the plight of Spain. He also was present at the siege of Lérida, which he celebrated in epic octavas reales, and in the recapture of Oran in 1732, which occasioned his Rasgo épico. Lobo also produced numerous festive verses, the most witty of which is a parody: 'Octavas festivas a la derrota de unos pasteles en el Palau' as well as a large corpus of sonnets, the best being a neo-classical composition on sculpture: 'A la estatua del silencio'. Lobo's works were first collected in Selva de las musas (Cadiz, 1711) and later in his Obras poéticas (Cadiz, 1724?). Some of his Poesías appear in vol. 61 of the Biblioteca de Autores Espa–oles. - Ward p.334. Palau 139453. Cf. STC of 18th-century Spanish books in the British Library, L138, for an edition with same imprint but dated 1724.
