About This Item

In Venetia, Appresso Giovanni Alberti, 1621. 4to. 16 leaves. 189 pages. Contemporary full vellum. First Edition. Important first-hand account of Romania and Hungary at the turn of the 17th century. The Venetian Giorgio Tomasi (?-1621) had visited Transylvania as apostolic protonotary to the nuncio Alfonso Visconti. He served as the prince's secretary for the Latin and Italian languages from 1596 until the appointment of Cardinal Andrew Báthory. Giorgio Tomasi returned to Rome to report to the Pope on the latest political events, but it is not known whether he ever returned to the Principality's capital. In any case, he lived at the court of Alba Iulia for at least three years (1596-1599). The work contains numerous references to the Turks. We have located around ten copies of this rare book in institutional holdings worldwide (Worldcat), most of them in Central Europe. No copies are known to exist in America. A fine copy. Cf. Marzâ, "Illustrious Europeans in Medieval Alba Julia. Italians to the Princely Court (1541-1691)" in: European Journal of Science and Theology, Vol.10, No.4, (2014), pp.129-142.
