'RARISIMA EDICION' (Salvá). Part two only, the fifth edition, a reprint of the Valencian second edition of 1616. This was the first edition of Don Quixote printed in Barcelona, and the first occasion the two parts appeared together. However, they were by different printers, and Salvá notes how unusual it is in practice to find both parts united. Palau 51989; Salvá 1554; Suñé 17.
