AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Nicolai Primi Pont. Maximi Epistolae
Rome: Francesco Priscianese 1542
In-folio, parchment binding.
First original edition, edited by Cardinal Cervini [future Pope Marcello II].
One of the few books printed by the Florentine humanist Francesco Priscianese, friend of Pietro Vettori, who came to Rome in 1540 to the court of Cardinal Nicolò Ridolfi, then opened a workshop between 1542 and 1546.
Edition defined as rare by Brunet, pp. [12]+167
The Epistolae of Pope Nicholas I (858-867) represent a fundamental collection of letters and decrees (about 150 letters extant) that attest to his active pontificate aimed at asserting papal supremacy. The works deal with ecclesiastical, dogmatic, and political issues.
These texts are essential for the history of canon law and the medieval papacy, since Nicholas I was a firm supporter of the Roman primacy both over temporal power and over other patriarchal sees.
Good overall condition, scattered foxing, spine with five raised bands and title in a gilded vignetting on a yellow inlay.
