IL PADRE DI FAMIGLIA

Descripción

A battered little volume with plain brown paper covers. Pages untrimmed, some unopened. Italian text clean with no markings and minimal foxing. No inscription. Laid in is a letter (dated 1984) to the previous owner, Edward Fry, from one Fabio in Milan who went to great lengths to track down this copy. He eventually discovered it in a private library in Florence to where it had arrived (as an enclosed slip attests) from the library of Girolamo Mancini, 1832-1924, eminent Italian historian and Battista's biographer. In all, a rather special copy of a prime work of Leon Battista Alberti, widely recognised as the epitome of the Renaissance Man. All profits to Amnesty International. N° de ref. del artículo 011163
