Description

An Italian translation of Du Fanatisme dans la langue révolutionnaire, ou de la Persécution suscitée par les barbares du XVIIIe contre la religion chrétienne et ses ministers by a French playwright Jean-François de La Harpe (1739 –1803) first published in a previous year bears a false imprint on the title page, stating Dubrovnik as a printing place instead of actual Milan. The second issue of this work bore a false imprint of Constantinople. The text discusses the fanatism in revolutionary dialect and attacks some contemporary authors. The translator was Giovanni Martino Bernardoni Baccolo (1752 – 1823), at the time a bishop of Kotor (Cattaro) and later a bishop of Famagusta.

In a highly decorative contemporary binding.

We could only find one institutional copy on Worldcat (Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma).
