About This Item
4to, pp. xvi, red edges slightly bleeding onto margins, else clean and crisp throughout; in contemporary pink boards, green paper spine and corners; light wear but a very attractive copy.
As far as we can tell unrecorded volume containing two poems, celebrating the birth of Napoleon II, the son of Napoleon who was to go on to be Emperor of the French (at the age of four) for a month after the fall of his father.
The first is a Latin ode by the Brescia poet and writer Girolamo Federico Borgno (1761-1817), who reflects on the mythology surrounding the foundation of Rome, of which the newborn Napoleon was King from his birth. The ode was first delivered at the Ateneo di Brescia in 1811, where several other of Borgno's Latin poems (on Dante, Ugo Foscolo, and others) were later performed.
This is followed by a hymn, in Italian, by the Brescia historian and poet Pietro Bravo (1785-1842).
