LA MONARCHIA. POEMETTO SICILIANO DI ANTONINO SCADUTI, E GENNA. In Circostanza del Passaggio In SICILIA della Maestà di FERDINANDO III. colla sua Reale Famiglia.

PALERMO [Sicily], Per Adorno, 1799. Text in Corsican, Preface in Italian.

Early (contemporary?) handmade plain paper covers, sewn bound, 5.5x9 inches (14x22 cm), inner pages of varying widths as issued, [7], 3-34 pages, vignette on title page. COLLATED page by page with a copy in the National Library of Naples.

GOOD condition: The covers have some corner creases, light chipping, and the spine covering has some peeling, otherwise these handmade paper covers, though plain, are quite lovely in their texture and look. Internally, there is an early previous owner's name, place and date (1828) at the bottom of the title page, some browning to the margins of some pages, a smudge here and there, overall the paper is beautiful and the printing is bold and clear throughout.
