October
dates the rare books. Lyon, chez Antoine Offray, MDCLXIV. Author is Bolsec, a
Catholic, then a Calvinist till he deemed predestination an “absurdity”, then
Catholic again. This biography of Calvin is “violent in tone”, “scurrilous but
highly entertaining”. MDCCXCVII, printed by Giambattista Bodoni himself, in
Parma. Pagnini’s Italian translation of Hesiod’s Theogony. The fonts that
caused a revolution we still enjoy. Amstelodami, apud Janssonio-Waesbergios, MDCLXXXIV.
Author is the Carmelite Angelo à S. Joseph: Gazophylacium Linguae Persarum, triplici
linguarum clavi Italicae, Latinae, Gallicae, i.e. Treasury [i.e. dictionary] of
the Persian Language using a key of Italian, Latin and French. &c.
