Title: Pro Sacerdotum Barbis Author: Valeriano Bolzani, Giovanni Pierio Place: Rome Publisher: Apud Calvum Date: 1531 Description: [31] pp. (4to) 20x13.5 cm (8x5¼") 20th century half vellum and patterned boards. First Edition. The author of this curious work, the first devoted to the subject of beards, was a protégé of Pope Clement VII and the tutor of Ippolito and Alessandro de Medici. It was written at the behest of Clement who himself had a beard and was perhaps frightened that beards should become a distinctive sign of Protestant pastors. An English edition was published by Berthelet in 1533. Rare. Lot Amendments Condition: Binding lightly worn; repair to upper margin of a few leaves at front; very good. Item number: 287437b
