Contemporary half vellum (spine chipped and split). The birth of the Bavarian Crown prince Max Emanuel was celebrated by his parents Ferdinand Maria, Elector of Bavaria, and Henriette Adelaide with an opera, a tournament and fireworks. In celebration of the new heir, "the Munich court organized a festivity which outdid in scale and variety virtually any other 17th century festivity anywhere, those at Vienna, Florence and Paris included. Not only was the whole town illuminated and the populace treated to wine from specially erected fountains, as well as bread, gold coins and commemorative medals, but the court witnessed and took part in an extraordinary spectacle" (Watanabe Triumphall shews , p.90). Bissari wrote the libretti and Johann Kasper Kerll composed the music. Francesco Santurini was responsable for the stage design. The celebration began on September 24 with the opera Fedra incoronata and continued with the tournament games Antiopa giustificata on September 26. Ferdinand Maria played the roll of Soloonte . The engraved plates depciting the lavish stage design are by Melchior and Matthaeus Ksell after Santurini.
