GoldRoquette, José. Livro d'ouro dos meninos para servir d’introducção ao thesouro da adolescencia e da juventude. Pariz: [Typ. A. Parent] Va. J.-P. Aillaud, Guillard & Ca., [1867]. 18mo (15.3 cm, 6"). 288 pp.; 4 plts. 
four chromolithographed plates showing (1) the Livro d’ouro being read by a father to his family, (2) Abraham’s sacrifice, (3) Moses being found among the bulrushes, and (4) “The Turtledove” with Inez and her parents on the walls of their castle.
José-Ignacio Roquette (1801–70), a Franciscan friar and professor at the patriarchal seminary in Lisbon, also wrote a History of the Discovery of America and works on natural history and philology. First published in 1844, this is the fifth edition of this rare work: We were unable to trace any copies via NUC Pre-1956, OCLC, or RLIN.
Single-click the chromo, for an enlargement. • Contemporary mottled calf, spine handsomely gilt with floral devices and with a gilt-lettered red leather label; scratched and abraded with some loss on edges and corners. Marbled endpapers, a little rubbed. Light foxing and some spots of light soiling; a few tears in margins of pages and plates. A book apparently used by members of its intended audience, though not put through truly gruesome maltreatment.
