VENETIAN EDITION IN LATIN of this treatise on casuistry by the Portuguese Franciscan Manuel Rodriguez, translated from Spanish by Balthasar de Canizal. Intended for confessors, the work deals with moral dilemmas and their resolution in the field of moral theology; it is divided into two parts, the second comprising an exposition of judicial procedure. Printed in two columns with head and footers, the printer’s woodcut mark appears on the title page and the final folio, depicting a crowned two-tailed siren. Capuchin provenance: handwritten bookplate ‘Loci Capucinorum Stantij / 1629’ opposite the title page, likely referring to the Capuchin friary at Stans, in Switzerland.
