Likely John Frederick Pinney (1773-1845) of Somerton Erle Somerset and Berkeley Square, slave owner. Volumes I and II of three. Almost certainly one of the eight pirated editions that were published in the same year as the first edition of Manzoni's famous novel: 'I Promessi Sposi, first published in 1827, was an immediate bestseller, so popular in fact that within a year of its appearance the official version went through nine printings and, in this same period, no less than eight pirated editions of the book were published' (Povolo, 2014, The Novelist and the Archivist, pp. 1-2). 'In 1827 alone eight pirate editions appeared, two in Florence, two in Turin, and one each in Livorno, Lugano, Naples and Paris. Since Italy was still a mosaic of small states, piracy was difficult to suppress' (Burke, 2008. "Three Approaches to Book History," Modern Intellectual History, 5.2, p. 370). An incomplete early edition of this significant text in original binding. I set only on WordlCat. ~Robust packaging. All UK orders sent with tracking, overseas orders on request.

Ansonsten sehr gut erhalten. - Bilder auf Anfrage - Minibuch (MBWinWV20a:).…
