AIAZZI G.
Nunziatura in Irlanda di Monsignor Gio. Battista Rinuccini arcivescovo di Fermo negli anni 1645 a 1649 pubblicata per la prima volta su mss. originali della Rinucciana con documenti illustrativi
In 8, pp. XVII + 486 + (2). Firma di possesso all'occhietto. Dorso parzialmente rifatto. Bruniture e gore ai margini inf. delle cc. Corposo lavoro scritto da Giuseppe Ajazzi, bibliotecario della Rinucciana di Firenze, su Giovanni Battista Rinuccini, nato a Roma nel 1592, investito da Urbano VIII dell'arcivescovato di Fermo, il quale rifiuto' il seggio arcivescovile di Firenze offertogli da Ferdinando II. Nel 1646 fu nominato da Innocenzo X nunzio apostolico in Irlanda con lo scopo di mediare fra i cattolici irlandesi e con il re, dopo che nel dicembre del 1641 il Parlamento inglese aveva votato la risoluzione di soppressione del culto cattolico in Irlanda. Rinuccini fece poi ritorno nel suo vescovato a Fermo dove mori' nel 1653.
