EARLY NINETEENTH CENTURY UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT ON THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE

Anonymous. De Sacramento Penitentia. s.l.: s.n., s.d. [circa 1800].

Ms, 190x124 mm, half-light brown leather with corners and decorated paper at boards (traces of use at the boards, worn corners), gilted decoration and false bands at flat spine, gilted title on a brown leather label at spine; red colour sprinkled edges; pp. not numbered, but (293), (9 b.).

Opera interessante sul sacramento della confessione, probabilmente trattasi di copia di studio risalente all'inizio del 1800.

Provenance: Even if the book has no signature and no ownership inscription, it comes for sure from the private collection of the heirs of the Moscatelli's family (a noble family, from the province of Rome, of landowners, priests, lawyers and administrators of church properties). Furthermore, it can be attributed to a certain gentleman Luigi Moscatelli (Aloysius Moscatelli), since the handwriting of the text and the binding of the book are completely analogous to those of another set of manuscripts written and signed by this gentleman (see: Bibliopathos Auctions, Rare Law Books, Documents & Manuscripts, 15 Jan. 2015, Lot 116).

References: Not present in ICCU; not in OCLC.
