Lendinara: Dalla tipografia Michelini, 1804. Original edition. Very Good. Octavo (17 cm); 16 pages. In woodblock-printed floral-patterned wraps in red, white, and green, coloring hand-finished.
A rhapsody written for the appointment of one Lodovico Bonardi to head the monastery attached to the Chiesa della Santissima Trinità in Monte Oliveto, in central Verona. The verses, by the abbot Lorenzo Mischiati, bear affinity with Dante's Paradiso but also with the lyrics of the 20th-century popular song Volare: the poet takes flight into the upper spheres and sees beautiful "sisters" as well as genies and heroes who sing the praises of the new abbot. Inconsequential to be sure, but interesting, and bound in extraordinarily lovely wraps. (Inventory #: 6393)
