An original 1649 edition printed in Parma, Italy, by Mario Vigna. Dedicated to the Treasurer General of Parma, Count Lodovico Cantelli”. A ‘Manual for the Poor’ devotional text originally composed by the Carmelite friar Alessandro di S. Francesco”. Note the original vellum binding and the small, hand-held format typical of 17th-century personal prayer. This is a very rare and a treasure for the antiquarian book collector.
