About This Item
N.p.: N.p., 1788. Hardcover. 8vo. Full vellum. (Ca. 300pp). Sewn-in green silk page marker. Very good. Rather crude binding pleasingly aged, yellowed and irregular, but without the bowing often evident on full vellum bindings. Intriguingly cryptic late 18th century handwritten copy of what appears to be a hairy theological text by the Spanish cleric, Jesuit and author (1562-1655) known in Latin as Luisii Turriani, first published in Madrid in 1630. Handsomely and boldly penned entirely in Latin in rich brown ink on attractive laid paper of the period, with a great many headings and subheadings. Our Latin is limited to "e pluribus unum," "sic semper tyrannis" and similar commonplace phrases, but our guess is that this was the product of a seminary student or other academic as a Latin exercise. "Tuccillo" is penned below the year on the title page as if produced in that city, but our research fails to produce a city by that name. Tight, clean and quite handleable.
