$185.00

Sole edition: Twelve sonnets by a Jesuit belles-lettrist, here in an "elegante e . . . leggiadro" Bodoni printing sponsored by Francesco Cattaneo, who wrote the dedication to the Marquis and his wife. This minimalist production is uncommon: a search of WorldCat finds => only three U.S. institutions reporting holdings (UCLA, Newberry, Southern Methodist).

Brooks 425; De Lama, II, 67. Original orange paper–covered boards, neatly rebacked; minor shelfwear. Page edges untrimmed. Mild foxing, otherwise clean. => A solid copy of this modest, less frequently seen Bodoni item.  (41549)   Please RESHELVE This.
