Seltener Druck mit armenisch-italienischem Paralleltext, hrsg. u. übersetzt durch den armenischen Priester Johannes Agop (1635-1691). Enthält den fiktiven Freundschaftspakt zwischen Kaiser Konstantin, dem armenischen König Trdat III., Papst Silvester I. und Gregor dem Erleuchter, dem ersten Oberhaupt der Armenischen Apostolischen Kirche. "The 'Letter of Love and Concord' is a unique source, which allows us a glimpse into the political and religious aspirations of the Armenian Cilician elite at the end of the twelfth century, alluding to its hopes and expectations from the Crusades and the Church of Rome, as well as its uneasy relationship with the Byzantine Empire" (Z. Pogossian). Der Holzschnitt zeigt die Päpste Pius V. u. Clemens VIII. - Kaum fleckig, Titel u. Schlußbl. mit altem Namensstempel "Fabroni".


First (?) edition, rare. - Minor spotting in places, old collector's stamp to title and last leaf. Contemp. marbled cardboards, somewhat rubbed and bumped.
