About This Item

Lucca: Tipografia Ducale, 1825. Original edition. Fine. Octavo (20 cm); 8 pages. In stiff green marbled-paper wraps.

Epithalamion by the celebrated improvisational poet, Teresa Bandettini, who packed theaters and thrilled audiences with her spontaneous verses accompanied by dance. The marriage--between the 62-year-old Prince Maximilian of Saxony and the 23-year-old Maria Luisa Carlotta--took place in Lucca by proxy without the bride being present! (They had a second ceremony in person in Dresden later that year.) Max had been Luisa Carlotta's uncle by marriage. Anyway, the important thing here is the poetry of Teresa Bandettini, who had returned to her native Lucca after a career on the road as an improvvisatrice. The poem is a hymn to Hymen, the Greek deity associated with marriage and, of course, the wedding night.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio

Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
