AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Very rare first edition pamphlet reporting the recent victory of the Florentine naval forces against the Ottoman Turks at the Agha Liman in southern Turkey. The special forces, created by Cosimo de Medici and known as the Order of St. Stephen, patrolled the Mediterranean for over two centuries, engaging with pirates and enemy combatants as needed. The battle that took place at Agha Liman (present day Mersin) appeared to have taken place in May of 1613 under the leadership of the Duc de Condolle. An English adaption of the report was printed the following year with the title: "Good newes from Florence". 4to (23 x 16cm), title-page + 6pp. Some foxing, small open tear to lower corner of first leaf with slight textual loss. Bound in wrappers. I could locate only three copies worldwide of this Italian edition. [Harvard, BL, and Cambridge].
