NOISBN . solid copy very light spotting to covers light shelfwear; jacket rubbed edgeworn small tears and minor paper loss at most corners still quite presentable. "The amazing story of one of the most tragic and one of the most lovely of Italian noble women of the sixteenth century -- a century of cruel and vicious license. At the age of eighteen Beatrice Cenci was imprisoned in a lonely castle by her father and subjected to such treatment that she was led to procure his murder. After a year of precarious freedom in spite of appeals to the Pope for clemency she was arrested tried and put to death." Beatrice's travails have had a long afterlife in art and literature: Percy Bysshe Shelley based his 1819 verse drama "The Cenci: A Tragedy in Five Acts" on the story which has also been adapted for a number of novels plays and operas by the likes of Stendahl Alberto Moravia Antonin Artaud and others. It was also the basis for a 1969 Italian film by Lucio Fulci with Adrienne Larussa as Beatrice which had the charming British release title of "Perversion Story." Per the dust jacket this is a "complete unabridged one-volume edition" having been previously issued by Boni & Liveright in a two-volume edition in 1925. .

Very good lightly browned a few lower fore edge corners folded tiny marginal chip at leaf 16 and one closed tear on rear leaf numeral inked on title original stitching but perhaps removed from a later volume. 40 pp. 16mo. "Q. Does God's holy law permit rebelliousness against one's temporal Sovereign R. Never indeed condemns it highly; for the sacred writing which as you know is the very word of God declares that the High Official Podesta does not come from God but whoever resists him resists precisely the ordination of God and thus proceeds to damnation." Thus begins Count Monaldo Leopardi's 1776-1847 counter-revolutionary Catechism on Revolutions arguing that Christianity and the French Revolution are incompatible that the rebellion is an ignominious revolt against the metaphysical and social order established by God and that tradition is more important that abstract concepts of liberalism. Meant for use in schools it was one of two essays published by Leopardi in 1832. Two editions were published in 1832 both rather uncommon. This edition without date and publisher but which Sorbelli's "Opuscoli stampe alla macchia e fogli volanti riflettenti il pensiero politico italiano: 1830-1835" dates as 1832 is held by only two libraries: Univ.
