Early edition in publisher's original full vellum covered boards. 8vo. 8½'' x 6¾''. The Historia delle guerre civili di Francia is based on first-hand knowledge of events and personalities. Sceptical about the religious claims of both sides (Catholic and Huguenot), Davila vividly portrayed the French wars of religion mainly as a struggle between noble factions for the control of the royal government and, within limits, is still a rich source of information for a troubled period of French history. Contains dedication on title page in large print to: Sig. Giacomo Marcello, right above large Baglioni family wood-cut trade mark, (xxvi), Preface: 'Di Venetia li 8. Settembre 1642. Paolo Baglioni', 1056 pp Italian language, ornate capital letters. SIGNED by Claudio Agretti with neat hand writing in Latin to the fore edge margin title page ' Claudio Agretti - Caucete ad Hominid' (be cautious of men | beware of men) from the New Testament - Matthew Chapter 10 - Verse 17. Afterthought: Claudio Agretti's cautionary counsel - feel it is even more his warning, than his signature that sets the book apart. Few words, but so relevant for that episode of manipulation, betrayal, counter-betrayal with murderous effects around each corner. Little has changed, maybe a bit adjusted, more cunning, could see it used as sober reminder for junior clergy by cardinals - even by the Vatican, coming from man of his stature, brought out of obscurity for 'the here and now'. Interesting marker for UK-Irish religious history library or record of papal support in an Irish Catholic Church Library as it directly connects with period of bloodshed | suppression by Puritan Protestants | Roundheads - revenge massacres, mass confiscations, famine, plague - many sent to America as 'slaves'. Neat, modest bookplate is Robt. Fellowes - with vignette to the front paste down. Robert Fellowes, L.L.D. 1771-1847 of Shottesham Hall, Norfolk was Clergyman, journalist and philanthropist.
