4to. (18) ff., 196 pp. Contemporary vellum.
In the preface to this curious work the author, a Jesuit priest better known for his religious writings, states that some of his material was taken from the confessionary. He stipulates the correct profit to be made on the sale of wool and other agricultural products, condemns excessive gains, and defends the ban on card games. Calatayud was proposed for beatification in Rome in the late 18th century. Palau 39499. Sommervogel II, 532. Aguilar Piñal II, 512. Kress 5920. Tolsada Picazo p. 92.
