Oak Knoll Books, New Castle, first edition, 1982. Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm,. v, 117, [1] pp, plates. From the blurb: "Dr. Nati Krivatsy has compiled the first bibliography of the works of Gregorio Leti, a seventeenth Century European writer of great popularity. His books of biographies, general histories, and writings on the papacy, were widely read and translated into many languages. Born in Milan and educated in a Jesuit school, Leti resisted the attempts of his uncle, the bishop of Acquapendente in Umbria, to interest him in pursuing a profession in the church. Leti chose instead to travel and write. He lived in the court of King Louis XIV in France and later in the court of King Charles II, who commissioned him to write a history of England. Leti was elected to the Royal Society, but had to flee England because of changing political climates. His biography of Queen Elizabeth was highly praised by modern historians for its insight into the Queen's character. Leti died in Amsterdam in 1701.
