About This Item
A pretty Piedmontese silk binding on a pastoral letter from the Bishop of Acqui (now Acqui Terme). Dated October 5, 1821, the brief is a panegyric of the reigning secular powers, the Princes of Savoy, who were in the midst of tumultuous times. Mentioned are the recently abdicated king Vittorio Emanuele I, and Carlo Alberto of Savoy, father of the future king Vittorio Emanuele II. The latter had recently ceded to pressure by his family and renounced his support of a group of rebels who were conspiring to install a constitutional monarchy.

Europe. We look for printed books and manuscripts produced by or for less powerful social
strata -- women, the poor clergy, children -- but we also approach the historical book
