Three poems, Il Mattino and Il Mezzogiorno by poet Parini, and a continuation in his style, Le Sera, by Mutinelli.
Scarce, in a fine binding, and from the library at Newton Hall.
Bound in half leather and marbled paper-covered boards, with gilt lettering and blindstamped decoration.
Giuseppe Parini, 1729 1799, was an Italian Enlightenment satirist and poet of the neoclassic period.
The binding is tight and firm. The front hinge is cracked, and the rear hinge is starting, but still firm. There is some wear to the extremities, including some rubbing, with slight loss to the spine. Internally the pages are generally clean and bright, with slight browning to the edges, prominent to the first and last few pages, and the occasional spot. Overall the condition is good only, with a very good interior.
