CASANOVA GIACOMO: (1725-1798) Italian Author and Adventurer. An excellent and lengthy A.L.S., `Giacomo Casanova´, with his full name, three pages, 4to, Dux, 11th January 1790, to Count Antonio Collalto ('Your Excellency, my Beloved Patron'), in Italian. Casanova thanks his correspondent for his letter which he has just received and states in part `.. especially interesting seems to me the election of Counselor to your Excellency of Count Odoardo, your dignified son. An appointment which grants a noble and wise member to the senate.´ Casanova further refers to Prince Ruspoli and makes an amusing comment `…considering that Bacchus and Mars have never been my favourite divinities..´ Further again, Casanova mentions a new he has received related to Mirabeau, and expresses his contempt for the French author, stating `I have received today the news that the bestial Mirabeau, chief of the rebels assassins who dethroned the Christian King, is dead as a result of the wounds received on a duel. This death distresses me because I had the hope of meeting him somewhere, kill him and watch him die. He is an infamous writer who has dishonoured crowned heads and famous writers, and among them our illustrious Abbot Boskovitch who he treats as an ignorant.´ Before concluding, Casanova comments on the Emperor´s health stating `I wish that His Majesty the Emperor and King will recover his lost health and that he will enjoy it for long without having any further troubles, surrounded by his loyal servitors, listening to the good advices he receives from the wise people who abound in his court.´ Some very light overall age wear and very small stain to the third page edge, not affecting the text or signature, otherwise about VG Count Antonio Collalto - Italian Nobleman and Military officer. Patron of Casanova.Translation into French of the paragraph referring to Mirabeau. « J'ai reçu aujourd'hui la nouvelle que le bestial Mirabeau, chef des rebelles assassins qui ont détrôné le roi très chrétien est mort des blessures reçues en duel. Cette mort m'afflige parce que j'avais l'espoir de le rencontrer quelque part et de le voir mourir de ma main. C'est un écrivain infâme qui a déshonoré des têtes couronnées et des écrivains fameux, parmi lesquels notre illustre abbé Boskovitch, qu'il traite d'ignorant »N.H. Odoardo, son of Count Antonio Collalto. Member of the Major Council of Venice 1789-90Honoré Gabriel Riqueti, Comte de Mirabeau (1749-1791) French Writer and an early Leader of the French revolution. President of the National Constituent Assembly 1791. A successful orator who became the voice of the people.Mirabeau did not die in January 1790 as Casanova comments. The duel death announced a year earlier than his real death date was one of the many fake news that circulated during the Revolution years. Roger Joseph Boscovich (1711-1787) A Polymath from the Republic of Ragusa. An extremely interesting life the one of this Jesuit Priest, also Physicist, Astronomer, Philosopher, Poet, Diplomat.. Boscovich made multiple contributions to astronomy. He discovered the absence of atmosphere on the moon in 1753.Joseph II (1741-1790) Holy Roman Emperor 1765-90.
