AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very rare Milanese edition of this famous text written in 1333 by the Dominican friar Domenico Cavalca (1270-1342), where the sufferings of the Passion of Christ serve as the apologetic pretext to exhort virtue and the mercy of faith.

The title page is missing, but it is definitely this edition as evidenced by the colophon.

Domenico Cavalca, Book called Spechio di Croce, newly reprinted and carefully corrected in the Florentine language, abridged..., Milan, Io. Antonio da Borgo, 1539.

Page: 90 out of 92 cards are unnumbered. Two cards are missing: A1 and A8 (corresponding to the cover page and two pages of text).

Copy with a slightly trimmed top margin and pages in generally good condition. Typical signs of use and age.

Seventeenth-century binding in full parchment with handwritten title on the spine, very well preserved. White flyleaves. Blue edges.

Seller's Story

I am always interested in purchasing individual works and/or entire libraries to help my bibliophile clients enrich their collections with rare and valuable pieces.
