Bononiae: Apud Ioannem Rossium, 1594. Vellum. Good. 11.5" by 8". None. An incredibly scarce Latin work on the censure of the church of the Catholic religion, written by Bartholomeo Ugolini. A very scarce work. In Latin. This work is a duodecimo, the signatures running as a-b6, c8, A-Z6, Aa-Zz6, Aaa-Ppp6, Qqq5. A look at Barbian arch priests and the censure of the church. The censure is the canon law of the Catholic Church, a medicinal and spiritual punishment imposed by the church on the delinquent, baptized, and contumacious person, when he is deprives of certain spiritual goods. This work looks at censorship, excommunication, suspension, and injunction. By Bartolomeo Ugolini, a academic and a trusted man of Lorenzo the Magnificent. He was a representative at the Aragonese of Naples, and was also the Bishop of Gaeta in 1494. With three bookplates to the front pastedown, 'Theol. Moral. L.S.N.L.', 'Ex Libris D. David Lewis; quos Patres Oratorii Londinensis Seminario dono dederunt, 1896', and 'Ex Bibliotheca Seminarii S. Ioannis'. Stamp to the recto to the front endpaper, 'Reference Library Book'.
