Beschrijving lot

8vo: [20]-417-[35] pp.

Contemp. vellum, ink titled spine with raised bands.

Second ed. (1st 1710) by the Italian humanist Maffei (1675-1755) on the virtues of societal meritocracy presented in the guise of a treatise on duelling and chivalry. Maffei destroyed the quarrelsome and antisocial mentality of the class to which he himself belonged and proposed a new and different morality, built on the civic virtues of the ancients.

Prov. J.F. Govett (ms. entry on front. flyleaf).
