ASSISI. BRUSCHELLI, Domenico. Asisi citta serafica e santuarii (sic) che la decorano ad istruzione e guida de' forestieri che vi concorrono. VIII, 85, [3] pp., illustrated with 30 full-page engraved plates numbered I-XXX. 4to, 227 x 145 mm., bound in original Italian blue paper wrappers, manuscript title and author on spine. Orvieto: Presso i Tosini, 1824.
Second revised and corrected edition. A nineteenth-century guide to Assisi distinguished by the series of charming engraved illustrations by Giambattista Mariani. The illustrations are presented in an oblong format, as opposed to the text, and depict a distant view of Assisi, wide views of city plazas, exteriors of the Temple of Minerva, Santa Chiara, Eremo delle Carceri, and several images of both the exterior and interior of Sacro Covento. The illustrations are populated with monks, clergy, artists and tourists experiencing the spiritually and artistically rich town. A pleasing, unsophisticated copy surviving in its original fragile pale blue wrappers.
