Second, enlarged edition (first printed Venice 1770) of this standard work by the historian Coronini from Gorizia. The vignettes depict seals, coats-of-arms, and figures; one shows a globe with the area between Belgium and Hungary, in which Vienna, Gorizia, and Florence are marked.
The “Specimen“ printed in the following year in the Hungarian city of Vác, an examination treatise for Emericus (Imre) Inkei with propositions for discussion taken from philosophy, natural history, and mathematics, is bound after the portrait.
