First edition of this treatise on the Credo, on the Pater Noster, and on Charity by Luigi Lippomano (1496–1559), dedicated to Pope Paul III and to ‘the venerable converted sisters’ of Rome and Bergamo. 

Lippomano served as bishop of Verona and Bergamo and as nuncio to several popes, as well as playing a prominent role in the Council of Trent.  He was a distinguished author, penning a number of aids for the clergy, not least to defend Catholic doctrine against Protestantism.
