AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Full title: Prediche Quaresimali del P. Maestro Felice Mattioli, da Gualdo Minor Convent. Teologo Dell' Altezza Serenissima di Ranuccio II. Duca di Parma, e di Piacenza &c. Con tre Indici.
First edition. Original publisher's paper covered boards. Recent buckram spine. Title on a paper label to the spine.
The book contains forty sermons by Mattioli. There are numerous woodcut vignettes, historiated capitals and other designs.
Title (end papers look newer, although still quite old), dedication, imprimatur, author note, subject index, twenty sermons, biblical index, index of notable things, printer's register. N.B. the text is entirely in Italian.
The publisher's paper boards have a few minor stains to them. The spine is new, and is in "as new" condition. The end papers (and inside board lining) looks newer, but has a watermark of a bird on three mountains. I have traced this back to three items, all bound in Italy between 1650 and 1690 - so they probably are original. The title page has some darkening / foxing to it, the rest of the pages have a touch of darkening / marking. The binding has slightly cracked to register +, but is still holding well. A couple of the pages have closed tears, where they have strained to the binding, and the rear end paper has a loss of about 1 inch square. Otherwise sound. There is only one copy recorded at Copac (BL). There are a small number held in Italy. At the time of writing this, there are no other copies available, and none recently sold.
There is a digitised copy of part of a first edition (up to p 184) (held at the Bavarian State Library). This has an ornate title page. It may be that this copy lacks an additional engraved title, but our copy, has its complete register, and so is not lacking any pages. We have the normal title as called for in the pagination, but NOT any engraved title.
Mattioli's title-page states that he was theologian to Ranuccio II Farnese the Duke of Parma and Piacenza
[xvi], 1-512, i-xxvii pp.
