CIRCIGNANO, Niccolò, called Pomarancio (d.c.1596). Ecclesiae militantis triumphi. Rome: Bartolomeo Grassi 1585. 2° (262 x 187mm). Engraved title with two women on pedestals supporting a crown, 31 numbered engraved plates with captions and keys to the figures, all hand-coloured and heightened in gilt, versos blank. (Some abrasion to title, soiling, staining, crudely repaired worming with minor losses, and marginal repairs affecting many plates, plates 8 and 9 bound out of order, final two plates partially detached.) Late 19th-century roan-backed marbled boards. Provenance : plate 30 with short manuscript addition to the key. Second edition, with contemporary hand-colouring, following the first of 1583. Several scenes of martyrdom are combined on each plate. As the title-page states, the engravings were by Giovanni Battista Cavalieri after Circignano’s frescoes in the church of Santo Stefano Rotondo in Rome. The Privilege of Pope Gregory XIII is not found on the title verso in this copy. BL/STC Italian Books p.185 (1st edition); Brunet I, 1697; Cicognara 2008; Mortimer/Harvard Italian 126.
