In Roma Per Gioacchino Salvioni Stampatore Vaticano, Nell' Archiginnasio della Sapienza, 1768. 12mo, 158 x 86 mms., pp. xviii, 775 [776 blank], title-page in red and black with engraved vignette of Christ, text also printed partially in red and black, 14 full-page engraved plates by Alessio Giardoni (fl. 1760 - 1795), at pages 1, 37, 49, 73, 87, 93, 113, 129, 161, 309, 333, 409, 455 and 619, stylishly bound in full contemporary red morocco, gilt border to a floral design on both covers, with a central gilt panel enclosing a cross in black, all edges gilt, marbled end-papers; slightly shaken in casing, very minor wear to binding, but a fine copy with the armorial bookplate of Prince Constantin Radziwill at the Chateau d' Ermenonville on the front paste-down end-paper, and the Ex Libris label of Albert Natural on the front paste-down end-paper. Prince Constantin Radziwill (1850 - 1920) married Louise Antoinette Blanc in 1876, despite his well-established and almost promiscuous homosexuality; but he was title-rich and cash poor, while Louise Antoinette was the daughter of a wealthy casino owner. He maintained a staff of twelve handsome footmen and lavished expensive presents on them. Comte Robert de Montesquiou: "It is most uncivil to mention ladies to Constantin Radzwill." Uncommon. No copies traced in North American or UK libraries. OCLC locates copies at the Bibliotheque Nationale and Biblioteca de Catalunya only.
