El castigo mereçido, y amistad pagada : discurso nautico : [Seville, Spain] : ms., año 1655 / por Juan de Mongaston ; pusolo a la correction del ex[celentisi]mo por S[eño]r D. Rodrigo de Silua, y Sarmiento duque de yJar, duque Conde de Salinas &ca.

A court novel that includes the presence of Arabic elements and much adventure. The text includes traces of Byzantine narrative techniques, such as beginning "in medias res," a shipwreck, reconnaissance, etc. The text appears to have been written with a single reader in mind (see dedication, f. 1v.), probably for don Rodrigo Sarmiento de Silva (1600-1664), Duke of Híjar, Ducal Count of Salinas, and son of the Count of Salinas, who was a well-known poet of the time.

1 v. ([1], 95, [1] leaves) : paper ; 21 x 16 cm.
