Rome: Apud Paulum Manutium, Aldi F., 1564. Second folio ed. of the Canons and decrees of the Council of Trent. Printer’s device on title page. Extra-illustrated with a folding plate bound between text and index. 239, [13] pp. 1 vols. Folio. Half brown morocco and cloth. Joints rubbed. Plate with repairs along lower fold. Second folio ed. of the Canons and decrees of the Council of Trent. Printer’s device on title page. Extra-illustrated with a folding plate bound between text and index. 239, [13] pp. 1 vols. Folio. An attested copy of the Canons and decrees of the Council of Trent. On the verso of p.CCXXIX (leaf V6), as a further certification of authenticity, a handwritten statement, with signatures of Angelus Massarellus, secretary of the Council, Marcus Antonius Peregrinus and Cynthius Pamphilus, both notaries at the Council. These copies were presumably inscribed and attested before they left the publishing house, and were destined for dignitaries. Renouard believed (p. 191) that few existed (he supposed 12 or 30).
Inserted between leaves V6 and X1 is a large folded engraving of the Council in session (329 x 494 mm) with title: Congregatio patrum generalis sacri et occumenici Tridentini Concilii ... = La generale co[n]gregatione d[e]i padri del sacro s[an]to Co[n]cilio di Tre[n]to ...; with imprint: Ven: Anno. M.D.LXIII. [1563].
Provenance: At the foot of the title page is the signature “Stephanus Baluzius Tutelensis” of Etienne Baluze (1630-1718), historian from Tulle in central France (with some annotations). Purchased from Ernest Dressel North in 1905; an enclosed letter from North dated June 1, 1905 states that this copy came from the Niblo collection of the New York City Y.M.C.A. sold by Merwin Clayton in May 1905; North asserts that this is the Sunderland copy (lot 2349), purchased by B.F. Stevens. Adams C2796; Renouard, Annales de l'imprimerie des Alde, 190 etc. General Theological Seminary (bookplates and perforated stamps)
