Rare 1677 First/Early Edition: De' Simboli Trasportati al Morale by Father Daniello Bartoli (1608–1685). This is a fascinating, miniature 17th-century volume by the noted Jesuit author Daniello Bartoli. Published in Bologna in 1677 this work explores moral philosophy through symbolic representation. A survivor of 350 years, this book retains its original charm and is a prime candidate for a serious collector of Jesuit history or early modern Italian literature. Authentic, contemporary vellum binding. The spine is partially detached from the text block, which is typical for a binding of this age and size (approx. 5.5" x 3.25" x 1.75"). The pages are remarkably well-preserved given their age, showing honest signs of wear, patina, and light foxing appropriate for a 1676 publication. The book remains a cohesive, readable, and highly displayable historical artifact. Includes the original 1677 imprint and woodcut printer's device. A rare survival from the mid-Baroque period.
