1792100962<p>Colorno December 14 1792. 1792. Fine. - Over 65 words penned in a secretarial hand on 9-1/8 inch high by 6-7/8 inch wide watermarked laid paper with an attached leaf. Writing from Colorno in the Province of Parma Ferdinand I Duke of Parma thanks his "Eminence" for his good wishes and Christmas greetings. Loosely translated the letter reads: "I received Your Eminence's dear letter of November 19 and I thank you for it wholeheartedly for the good wishes you offer me on the occasion of the upcoming Holy Christmas. I respond to these with my own equally lively and sincere wishes and pray your Eminence to be fully persuaded of them. I also pray you to believe me always with the most distinguished and true esteem and friendship." Signed "Ferdinand". There is an early annotation in ink at the top of the attached address leaf. There are later light annotations in pencil at the bottom of the letter. Folded vertically and horizontally else near fine.</p><p>Baptised Ferdinando Maria Filippo Lodovico Sebastiano Francesco Giacomo Ferdinand I 1751-1802 was Duke of Parma Piacanza and Guastalla. A member of the House of Bourbon-Parma he was considered the favorite grandson of King Louis XV and was also a grandson in the line of King Philip V of Spain. Ferdinand I is sometimes considered one of the minor exponents of Enlightened absolutism for expelling the Jesuits and abolishing the jurisdiction of the Inquisition from his domains. In 1801 he ceded the Duchy of Parma to France in the Treaty of Aranjuez and his son Louis was later granted the Grand Duchy of Tuscany then Etruria in compensation. Although the French cited other reasons for his death Ferdinand I is suspected to have died in Parma of poisoning at the age of 51. Still opposing the Treaty of Aranjuez on his deathbed Ferdinand had named his wife Maria Amalia as head of a regency council but the regency only lasted a few days before the Duchy of Parma was annexed to France.</p> Colorno, December 14, 1792.
