Small 4to; dampstained throughout; contemporary vellum, worn and defective. Sold not subject to return. Only edition of this account of the rebellion against Spanish rule which took place in Naples in 1647. Poor government and fiscal hardships for the local population set the stage for this insurrection. Following a new fruit tax, riots took place on July 7 and the viceroy, Count d'Arcos, took refuge. Led by an Amalfi fisherman known as Masaniello (a contraction of Tommaso Aniello), the general populace rioted, erected barricades, procured arms, and demanded the rescension of the new taxes. After negotiations between the viceroy and Masaniello, an agreement was reached in which the rebels were pardoned and the more oppressive taxes removed.
