In-4° grande; pp. (20), 503, (1), marca tipografica incisa su legno al frontespizio. Legatura in piena pergamena coeva con titolo manoscritto al dorso. Un libro di viaggio che ripercorre i luoghi di San Domenico. Il domenicano Giovanni Michele Pio compila in quest’opera una straordinaria storia dell’Ordine di San Domenico, letta sia attraverso le vite degli uomini che resero tanto illustre quell’ordine, sia attraverso i luoghi fisici, conventi e monasteri, che segnarono la diffusione dei domenicani in Italia e in Europa, ma anche, ciò che è specialmente interessante, in Asia e in America. Pio descrive infatti per i singoli conventi le architetture, le cose mirabili che vi sono conservate, gli eventi che vi hanno avuto luogo, e lo fa, come dichiara nella lettera al lettore, per aver viaggiato e visto lui stesso in tutta Italia, e affidandosi per l’estero a fonti scritte, come per le fondazioni in Spagna, Inghilterra, Francia, Germania, Fiandre, Polonia e Portogallo, e per le relative missioni nelle Indie Orientali e Occidentali. La testimonianza di un domenicano contemporaneo è di straordinaria importanza per ricostruire la rete dei movimenti attraverso cui viaggiavano non solo I missionari e l’evangelizzazione, ma anche la cultura e l’economia europea, principalmente spagnola e portoghese: Goa, Mozambico, Cochin, Messico, Perù, Cile, Cuba, Porto Rico, Acapulco, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Filippine ecc. Nelle pagine dell’opera si legge anche la storia dell’Inquisizione, di santi e miracoli. Molto ricche le tavole d’Indice con i conventi, i monasteri delle monache, santi, religiosi e religiose, pontefici, cardinali, arcivescovi, vescovi, scrittori, e la Tavola delle cose più notabili. (Fantuzzi, voll VII, p.42; manca a Sabin) In-4th large; pp. (20), 503, (1), woodcut printer’s mark on title page. Full vellum contemporary binding with handwritten title on the spine. A travel book that follows the places of San Domenico. The Dominican Giovanni Michele Pio compiles in this work an extraordinary history of the Order of St. Dominic, read both through the lives of the men who made that order so illustrious, and through the physical places, convents and monasteries, which marked the spread of Dominicans in Italy and Europe, but also, what is especially interesting, in Asia and America. In fact, Pio describes for the single convents the architectures, the admirable things that are preserved and the events that took place there, and he does so, as he declares in the letter to the reader, for having traveled and seen himself throughout Italy, and entrusting himself for abroad to written sources, as for the foundations in Spain, England, France, Germany, Flanders, Poland and Portugal, and for the related missions in the East and West Indies. The testimony of a contemporary Dominican is of extraordinary importance to reconstruct the network of movements through which not only missionaries and evangelization traveled, but also the European culture and economy, mainly Spanish and Portuguese: Goa, Mozambique, Cochin, Mexico , Peru, Chile, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Acapulco, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Philippines etc. In the pages of the work one can also read the story of the Inquisition, of saints and miracles. The index tables with convents, monasteries of nuns, saints, men and women religious, pontiffs, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, writers, and the Table of the most notable things are very rich.
