TREATISES on political and philosophical subjects by the Dominican Tommaso Campanella (1568-1639), imprisoned by the Spaniards for a conspiracy against their rule in Naples 1599-1626, Cardinal Pietro Sforza Pallavicino (1607-1667), and others, circ. 1605-1630, viz.:
1. 'Discorso dell' illustrissimo signore Marchese Sforza Pallavicino [afterwards a Jesuit, 1637, and Cardinal, 1657] se il Prencipe debba esser letterato, al serenissimo Ferdinando secondo, Gran Duca di Toscana' (1621-1670). Printed incompletely by Mai, Spicilegium Romanum, vi (1841), p. 618, and in full by G. D. Boeri, Opere edite ed inedite del Cardinale Sforza Pallavicino in Biblioteca Classica Sacra, sec. xviii tom. i (Rome, 1884). f. 1.
2. 'Del senso delle cose libro primo' (-quarto): the philosophical and magical work of Campanella, written in prison. Italian. A Latin version, by the author, was published by Tobias Adami (De Sensu Rerum et Magia, Frankfort, 1620). f. 40.
3. 'Cento cinquanta concetti methodici dell' universa scienza politica di fra Thomasso Campanella', partly in Italian, partly in Latin. The Latin aphorisms published by Adami as part iii of Campanella's Realis Philosophia (Frankfort, 1623) are in a different form and A. D'Ancona, Opere di Campanella (Turin, 1854), ii, p. 11, prints only the Italian. Beg. 'Nessuno domina à se solo . . . si dice communità. Dominium siue imperium multitudo'. f. 315.
4. 'La Città del Sole o dialogo di republica nel quale si dissegna l'idea della riforma della republica Cristiana conforme alla promessa da Dio fatta alle sante Caterina e Brigida'; by Campanella. Printed in Latin by Adami as an appendix to the Realis Philosophia. A different Italian version is printed by D'Ancona, op. cit., ii, p. 237. Beg. 'Dimmi per gratia tutto quello'. f. 365.
5. 'Discorsi a prencipi d'Italia che ... non debbano contradire alla monarchia di Spagna', &c., by the same. Printed by D'Ancona, ii, p. 45. At the end is an extra sentence 'Non accordando li Principi esterni a questo collegio lo deuono fare l'Italiani solo per loro sicurtà et gloria di Italia'. f. 417.
6. 'Relatione dello stato, forze et gouerno del Gran Duca di Toscana': an account (probably not an official diplomatic rclazione) of Tuscany under Ferdinand I (1537-1609), n. d. Another copy is in Harley MS. 3585, f. 19. Beg. 'Questo gran signore in Italia'. f. 459.
7. 'Ragionamento fatto dal senatore Rhò al doge et conseglio di Venetia': representations on behalf of Spain concerning the succession to Mantua upon the death of Vincenzo II (1627), with the doge's reply. Beg. 'La Maestà del Rè Cattolico mio signore'. ff. 491-493, 496-499.
8. 'Sommario di quello che ha detto a S. Santità [Urban VIII] il regente Coiro in nome di S. [Maesta Cattolica]', &c., on the same subject. Beg. 'Che morendo il Duca'. On two leaves misbound in the middle of art. 7. f. 494.
9. 'Auuertimento à Casa d'Austria': an essay on the arts of empire, written during the Thirty Years' War. Beg. 'Turbata per eosdem dies Germania. Chi considerara come'. f. 500.
10. 'Compendio della Monarchia del Messia et delle ragioni del dominio ecclesiastico capo e di tutti prencipi membra di J. C.': the work of Campanella. Differs somewhat from the Latin version, which was published at Jesi, 1633, and confiscated, and has an 'auuertimento a' lettori' at the end, which is absent from the Latin. f. 506.
Paper; ff. 630. Folio. 101/2 in. x 71/2 in. Circ. 1620-1630. Bound like 14 A. XV. Not in the old catalogues.
