CLEANING UP THE GOLD AND SILVER TRADE [GOLD and SILVER.]
Bando generale per gli orefici, argentieri, ed altri che comprano, vendono, ed in qualsivoglia modo maneggiano, e contrattano oro e argento in Roma, e nello Stato Ecclesiastico.
Rare edict governing goldsmiths, silversmiths, and traders in gold and silver operating in Rome and the Papal States, issued by Cardinal Bartolomeo Pacca (1756–1844) in January 1815 as Camerlengo to Pope Pius VII.
HOMER, and Alexander POPE (translator).
Homer’s Odyssey, translated by Alexander Pope, in two volumes.
First and only Bell edition of Pope’s Odyssey, extremely rare. Pope’s immensely popular version of the Odyssey, penned in collaboration with William Broome and Elijah Fenton, was first published by Bernard Lintot in 1726. The work brought Pope around £5600 in profits, and he would write in 1737 that it was ‘(thanks to Homer) … I live and thrive, / Indebted to no Prince or Peer alive’ (Epistle 2, ii.68–9, Poems, 4.169).
