This is the only edition of this work recording the elaborate funeral celebrations to honor the death of Cosimo II de' Medici (1590-1621) which were commissioned by the Florentine community in Venice and held at the church of Saints John and Paul. Cosimo II de’ Medici was the son of Ferdinando de’ Medici and was married to Maria Maddelena of Austria. He was Grand Duke of Tuscany from 1609 until his death in 1621, and was particularly interested in the sciences. He was Galileo’s friend and protector. The celebration was organized by Giulio Strozzi, of the important Florentine family who had been the Medici’s chief rivals in the 15th century, but later reconciled and even intermarried with them.
This book includes detailed full-page etchings showing the decorations, inscriptions, and temporary structures designed for this event by the Ravenna architect and painter Matteo Ingoli, as well as a plan of the church and views of the church interior filled with mourners. Of particular interest are etchings of eight allegorical scenes from Cosimo II’s life. The printed text describes in detail the symbolism of every aspect of the funeral celebration, and the work concludes with an encomium by Strozzi.

Leo Allatius (1586-1669), the author of this early regional bibliography, was a Greek scholar, theologian, and an important literary figure in Rome during the pontificate of Urban VIII. In addition, he served as librarian to Cardinal Barberini, the nephew of Pope Urban VIII, and the objective of this bibliography was to celebrate the literary activity supported by Cardinal Barberini. It contains about 2500 works by 500 writers living and working in Rome during the three years of Urban VIII’s pontificate. Among the writers included are Campanella, Galileo, Gassendi, Naude, Porta, Stelluti, and the author himself. Allacci’s bibliography is the first to contain any mention of Galileo’s works, a fact that is particularly notable since it post-dates Gallileo’s trial and condemnation. The Apes Urbanae contributes to Stanford’s collections in the history and early bibliography of scientific works and early modern Italian intellectual history.

In this manuscript, written only a few years before the French Revolution and never published, the author, Du Tillet de Villars, addresses the problem of uneven and arbitrary taxation and proposes a new national system of equitable taxation of all forms of wealth and property. To illustrate his proposal, the author includes a detailed inventory of the parish of St-Jean, in the Limousin. This inventory, the “terrier,” contains the names and accounts of property of 106 proprietors, and is followed by the financial profiles of each proprietor, including their holdings of real estate and personal property, livestock, household inhabitants and their professions or functions. The ideas presented in the manuscript and the published pamphlet, which contains further elaborations of the author’s views, are considered in relation to the views of Vauban and the Abbé de Saint-Pierre, who slightly predated Du Tillet de Villars. This manuscript complements the Stanford University Libraries’ holdings of works by the Abbé de Saint-Pierre, including a 1733 manuscript entitled “Memoire pour perfectioner la capitation, par la metode des declarations,” which addresses similar issues, and Vauban, as well as materials found in the Gimon Collection.
