MATINA, Leone (16th century). Ducalis Regiae Lararium. Padua: Hertz, 1659.
An important work on the iconography of the Serenissima praising the Doges of Venice, featuring the engraved portraits of 104 doges from Paoluccio Anafesto to Domenico Contarini. Like most copies, the present copy lacks pp. 325-326, which contained the author's praise of himself, considered far too celebratory by the Venetian Senate and therefore removed from all copies for sale.Folio, (303 x 233mm). Engraved title-page, engraved portraits of Domenico Contarini and the author, 104 engraved portraits in text (missing f. vv1, loss of paper at lower right corner from title-page up to leaf aa affecting the Contarini portrait but not touching text, some foxing and light waterstains to last leaves). Full contemporary vellum binding, title lettered to spine in manuscript (some wear).
