Looking for 15th to 19th century books in pdf format

I've become interested in older chess books such as The Repetición de Amores y Arte de Ajedrez and am looking to see if I can find perhaps some scanned pages of them but have had no luck finding anything online. Other than a few tactical puzzles which are heavily worn there isn't much out there. Anybody here have a link that maybe Google isn't producing or an idea where I can find them (in person)? I understand 15th century is a stretch but anything before the 1900's would be something interesting to see.

books.google.com and archive.org have tons of chess books from the 1900s and earlier.  All of Howard Staunton's works for example, and a few editions of the German classic "Handbuch des Schachspiels".

For the particular work you are looking for:
