18046393Lendinara: Dalla tipografia Michelini 1804. Original edition. Very Good/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.

Inconsequential to be sure but interesting and bound in extraordinarily lovely wraps. Octavo 17 cm; 16 pages. In woodblock-printed floral-patterned wraps in red white and green coloring hand-finished. Dalla tipografia Michelini paperback books
