Descripción

12mo, pp. 132; clean and crisp; contemporary red boards, gilt-lettering directly to spine, with paper label; extremities a little rubbed, and foot of spine chipped; an attractive copy, with private ownership cypher 'J.R.' gilt-stamped to spine. Second enlarged Italian translation of the Histoire de la vie et du procés de L. D. Cartouche (first 1722). The proverbial romantic rogue, Louis-Dominique Bourguignon - known as Cartouche (1693-1721) - was born in Paris and became the leader of a famous band of robbers. His daring and skill made him a legendary figure. His exploits were followed with interest by his contemporaries all over Europe, and he has figured in numerous plays, novels, and recently films. This Italian translation is of particular interest, as it adds the exploits of numerous other outcasts of the time, and concludes with the fictitious twelve-point constitution imposed by Cartouche on his band of robbers. All the eighteenth century Italian translations are apparently rare, OCLC and KVK record two copies of the 1724 edition (Venice and Bibliothèque Nationale) and one of the later 1749 edition (Berlin), but none of this edition.
