Scarce third edition of this collection of twelve sermons by the Augustinian canon and bishop of Chioggia, Gabriele Fiamma (1533–1585).
Fiamma’s sermons – delivered in Ravenna, Venice, Naples, Treviso, Padua, Florence, Genoa, and Mantua – cover sin, Christian justice, fear of God, the rewards of heaven and glory of the saints, the greatness and authority of Saint Peter, the incarnation, the Holy Spirit and its gifts, knowledge of God, love for one’s enemies, and Christ and John the Baptist. The first edition was issued in Venice by Senese in quarto format in 1566, and a second edition in octavo was printed at Naples by Giuseppe Cacchi in 1568.
