Ancona: Baluzzi, (1812). 32pp. This attractively printed calendar notes holidays and the dates for the change of seasons. Each month is marked with sunrise times, and the ecclesiastical significance of each day is noted. The almanac closes with four pages of brief guidelines for a happy and virtuous domestic life. This copy retains its original binding of gilt-decorated green paper with an engraved, cameo-style portrait of a woman in the center of the upper and lower covers. The gilt is slightly rubbed and there is some edgewear, but otherwise this fragile binding is in remarkable condition. Internally, there is a short closed tear to the lower margin of a single leaf, and a small stray ink mark, else quite clean and crisp. (2 5/8 by 2 1/4; 68x52mm). (Item ID: 22661)
