PROVENANCE: Cardinal Emilio Bonaventura Altieri (1590-1676, created Pope Clement X in 1670), arms on binding. | The binding is most likely to be Roman; it has some tools in common with bindings executed for Urban VIII in the 1630s-1640s (in particular the outer borders and the tool used to create the lace fans in the corners). As the arms are stamped in silver on a gold shield and partly obscuring the cardinal s regalia surrounding the arms, it is possible that a number of copies were bound for presentation, and the arms of each individual superimposed later. | Woodcut printer s device on title-page, engraved armorial illustrations in text, 2 folding engraved plates by Stefano della Bella. [LACKING the portrait] | BOUND WITH | [ALESASSANDRO STUFA] | Esequie della maestà cesarea dell imperadore Ferdinando II celebrate dall Altezza Serenissima di Ferdinando II Gran Duca di Toscana. | Florence: De Massi and Landi, [1637], half- title, engraved title-page, engraved portrait of the emperor, 3 folding engraved plates, all by Stefano della Bella. | 2 works in one volume.
