The binding reprises the exquisite style of the Andreoli workshop in Rome, who had been the official binders for the Vatican Library since 1665. Similar (though not identical) tooling can be found on Legatura romana barocca n.71 (1670). The arms are those of bishop and future cardinal Bernardino Rocci (1627-1680), who had been made a bishop on 22nd April, 1668, and was the head of the afore-mentioned academy. Provenance: 'Bibliothecae Petri Buoninsegni Senis 1814'. Pietro Buoninsegni was a Sienese gentleman, who owned an important private library at the turn of the 19th century; 'Landau 16654'. Baron Horace de Landau (1824-1903) was the representative of the Rothschild bank in Turin, and a renowned collector and bibliophile. He accumulated c.60,000 books and manuscripts - one of the finest private collections in Europe. After his death, the collection was preserved and enlarged by his niece Jenny Ellenberger-Finaly, and eventually dispersed in 1949. (Bookplates to front pastedown).
