LOPEZ DE UBEDA, Francisco (fl. c.1600)]. La picara montan~esa llamada Justina. Barcelona: S. de Cormellas, 1605.

Rare second edition of the first picaresque novel featuring a female narrator. Justina, the witty narrator of this satirical tale, breaks the expectations first established by the Lazarillo in 1554 of a male-dominated picaresque novel: ‘she gleefully besoils her betters and rubs their noses in it, figuratively castrating and usurping male authority as she sows deception with her words’ (Cox Davis, p.138). RBH/ABPC record no copies at auction. Palau 142110; Maiorino, G. (ed.) The Picaresque. U of Minnesota Press, 1996.

Octavo (148 x 100mm). Woodcut initials, head-and tailpieces (occasional faint spotting and waterstaining, two short marginal tears touching a few letters). Later limp vellum, titled in manuscript along bottom edge (lightly stained). Provenance: 17th-century ownership inscription by a Spanish cleric and apostolic notary.
