MARINELLI, Lucrezia (1571-1653). Vita del serafico, et glorioso s. Francesco...Con un discorso del Riuolgimento amoroso, uerso la somma bellezza. Venice: Bertano, 1597.
Rare work, never auctioned (RBH), the second published by Lucrezia Marinelli. It is a poem in octava rima narrating the life of Saint Francis, followed by the Rivolgimento amoroso, a discourse dedicated to Christina of Lorraine, which develops a path of spiritual ascent to God based on hermetic and Platonic concepts. Also included in the volume is the scarce Taide Convertita by Ambrogio Leoni, a Bolognese scholar of the Order of the Cruciferous, a sacred play which enjoyed a good deal of success in the 17th century and has never been sold at auction (RBH).
