Antonio Bortoli, 1750. In-4°. (xx) 1093 pages. Frontispiece (a tempietto) and engraved plate (Assumption of the Virgin). Beautiful vignettes and initials. A few wormholes mainly, the last 60 leaves slightly detached and stained. Bound in leather. Decorated boards. Gilt and embossed edges, spine torn, boards scratched, clasps missing. Armenian translation of the best-known work of the Dominican John of San Gimignano (1260-1332), the Liber de exemplis et similitudinibus rerum. This book, for the use of preachers, is a collection of analogies capable of illustrating the preaching of abstract truths that are sometimes too subtle for ordinary people.
