BONAMICI, Filippo Maria (1705-1780)
De vita et rebus gestis ven. servi Dei Innocenti XI. Pont. Max. commentarius. Venice: Ex typographia Marci Palearini, 1776.
Specially bound presentation copy of the first edition of a biography of Pope Innocent XI, apparently presented by Pope Pius VI to Maria Christina, Duchess of Teschen, when they met at Rome in 1776. The volume contains a unique 3-page letterpress verse laudation dedicated to Maria Christina and was probably bound at the Vatican Bindery. Maria Christina and her husband Prince Albert Casimir of Saxony, Duke of Teschen (1738-1822), met the Pope, to whom the work is dedicated, on their Italian tour of 1775-76.
Octavo (223 x 135mm). Roman types, woodcut title vignette, woodcut head- and tailpiece, 2 historiated initials, with a 3-page letterpress dedication in verse to Maria Christina, Duchess of Teschen, bound before title. Contemporary Roman red morocco gilt, sides tooled to a roccoco design with a wide dentelle, greek key outer border, spine gilt in six compartments with green morocco gilt lettering-piece in second, decorative endpapers printed in a red and green floral design, edges gilt and gauffered au pointille, (extremities faintly rubbed, tiny chip in front free endpaper). Provenance: Maria Christina, Duchess of Teschen (1742-1798, printed dedication and binding).
