Abstract
This article describes a book by the Spanish Jesuit theologian Francisco de Ribera, about the commentaries to the Old Testament’s 12 Minor Prophets, printed in Salamanca, Spain, in 1587. It is one of the oldest books in the collection of the Colegio de la Compañía de Jesús of Pátzcuaro, in Michoacán, which had not been identified until recently. This work is part of a broader research on Mexican religious prints and written culture. Its description and the analysis of its importance, in the context of a library of its time, are a contribution to the study of the country's bibliographic heritage and to a deeper understanding of the cultural history of Mexico during the 16th Century.
