Anfossi - La restituzione de'beni ecclesiastici (Sede Apostolica) - 1824

Rare nineteenth-century treatise on ecclesiastical law that contains chapters of great interest, from the "terrible punishments threatened by the Church" to the "possessions of the Clergy", administration, alienation and the "objections of the Adversaries". A half-sheet of sturdy parchment, a study and reading experience extremely pleasant. Catalogued only in thirteen public libraries, it is the work of Filippo Anfossi (1748–1825), a Dominican theologian and jurist, a reactionary active during the Restoration era.
