In Firenze: Nella Stamperia di S. A. R. per li Tartini, e Franchi, 1724. Two parts in one volume, each with separate title-page. Small folio. 295 x 210 mm., [11 ½ x 8 ¼ inches]. 23 [1] pp., 12pp. First part illustrated with 5 folding plates. Bound in full contemporary vellum, spine with minor tear in lower portion, some modest soiling to the vellum, otherwise a very good copy.
King Louis I of Spain, died seven months into his reign at the age of 17. He had been hastily married to the Louise Elizabeth d' Orleans after his father Phillip V abdicated his thrown in an attempt become king of France. The young king died of small pox, had no heirs and fewer accomplishments.
This very attractive fete book, commemorating the ceremonies surrounding the death of Louis I was organized as a courtesy to his mother, Elisabetta Farnese of Parma, wife of Phillip V and Queen of Spain. The first part contains an oration by Niccolò Venuti, a member of the Order of San Stefano and an antiquarian expert in the archeological history of Herculaneum. Venuti provides a vivid description of the attendance, procession and preparations made by the Chiesa di Santa Maria Novella in Florence. He also describes in some detail the religious ceremony that was conducted to commemorate the king.
The second work is an oration written by Camillo Antonio Boccadiferro, a prelate from Bologna whose words of condolence are directed to the Queen of Spain, a lady of the famous Florentine family Farnese. He place Louis I in the line of great kings of Spain and comments sorrowfully on the unfulfilled life that no doubt would have been filled with glory for Spain.
This festival book is illustrated with five folding plates designed and engraved by Ferdinando Ruggieri, the noted Florentine engraver. They include a delicate rendering of the façade of Santa Maria Novella, a view to scale of the interior of the church, an image of the black bunting which decorated the numerous side altars of the church, a view of the decorations of the main altar, and a large view of the altar with he implements of Louis I's reign as King of Spain.
A very nice copy of this illustrated fete book.
