Mexico City: Bibliotheca Mexicana, 1764. First edition. Small octavo, ff 20, pp 217, plus 15 unnumbered pages which include an index. Beristain (v:155) notes that the author was a Spaniard, where he studied philosophy and theology, before coming to America as a Franciscan missionary, attached to the colleges in Queretaro and Zacatecas. He wrote histories of all of the Franciscan colleges in New Spain, and was a member of the Inquisition. Notably, one the earliest biographies of the apostle to Texas, Fr. Antonio Margil, was written by Vilaplana in 1763. The Enchiridion is a "handbook" for confessing venal priests who were practicing extortion on their congregations. As Palau notes (365782), it is "indispensable para el conocimiento de una de las mayores preocupaciones de la Iglesia durante toda la epoca colonial: el castigo de los sacerdotes 'solicitantes'." Very nice copy in original vellum, with title inked on spine.
