Le Pitture di Bologna Che nella pretesa, e rimostrata sin' ora da altri maggiore antichità, e impareggiabile eccellenza nella Pittura, con manifesta evidenza di fatto, rendono il Passeggiere Disingannato, ed Istrutto. Dell' Ascoso Accademico Gelato.

xxxxvij, 420 pp. 12mo. Italian text. Vellum binding, title and decorative device on spine. An 18th century publication of the 17th century work by Italian scholar Carlo Cesare Malvasia, intended as a companion and gallery guide to the works of artists discussed in his earlier work 'Felsina pittrice' (not included here). Scholars have recently undertaken to republish that work in annotated form, and together with this volume they will likely form one of the most important references for the works of the Bolognese masters.
