About This Item
Small 4to. 212 x 148 mm., (8 ½ x 6 inches). Engraved title-page, 31 leaves. Illustrated with an engraved title, within an ornamental boarder designed and engraved by Gasparo Gaiani. Bound in contemporary Italian mottled calf, spine tooled in gilt, red edges, red peppermint striped endpapers, beautifully preserved.
Fine copy of the only edition of Parozzi's poems. A rare collection of 26 love poems, some on true love, other on unrequited love, and other on the disappointed that come with the refusal of one's love. Other poems discuss love in terms of flattery, sincerity, despair, jealousy, dreams of love, the seasons of love, happiness, thunderstorms as a metaphor for stormy love affairs, the gift of love, and sorrow that comes with the abandonment of love. This appears to be Parozzi's only published collection of poems.
Not in ICCU; on copy located in the US at Harvard. (957)
