Deposizioni giurate dei detenuti correi del cavaliere Giuseppe Ricci nella congiura ordita l'anno MDCCCXXXII contro la persona di S. A. R. il Duca di Modena e sua Reale Famiglia ricevute e pubblicate dal ministero di buon governo
In 8, p. 36. Br. ed. Raro documento testimonianza della congiura ordita dal famigerato conte Girolamo Riccini, ai danni di Giuseppe Ricci, guardia nobile del Duca, accusato di attentato alla vita di Francesco IV. Montanari e Tosi, accusati di furto, dichiararono di essere stati convocati dal Ricci in una sua villa presso Bastiglia con la promessa di 200 napoleoni d'oro nel caso avessero ucciso il Duca in occasione di una sua visita alla Chiesa dei Benedettini. Col Ricci venivano accusati di essere presenti al convegno altri quattro cospiratori: Piva, Guicciardi, Gasparini e Borghi. Il processo, ampiamente falsato, si concluse con la morte del Ricci e dei suoi presunti complici. Solo piu' tardi, nel 1865, venne riabilitato da una corte dell'Italia unita e ascritto nell'empireo dei martiri risorgimentali. L'ennesima beffa per il povero Cavaliere Ricci, duchista e anti liberale convinto.

Privileggi e statuti della venerabile archiconfraternita dell'anime piu' bisognose del Purgatorio eretta in Roma sotto il patrocinio di Gesu', Maria, e S. Giuseppe dal venerabile servo di Papa Innocenzo XI
In 8, pp. (2b) + 46 + (2). Stemma xilogr. al fr. Ex libris al verso della sguardia. Legatura coeva in p. pg. Statuti della Confraternita delle anime del Purgatorio di Roma il cui scopo principale - come dichiarato nel primo capitolo - e' 'l'esercizio di opere di Pieta', e di devozione con profitto spirituale de' Fratelli'. Tra gli uffici della Confraternita c'e' anche quello di assistere i condannati a morte: quando e' dichiarata la condanna a morte di un prigioniero, si stabiliscono un numero di messe 'ad postulandam gratiam bene moriendi'. Il giorno antecedente l'esecuzione si recitano continue orazioni 'da applicarsi in sollievo dei delinquenti, e nel giorno della morte dopo l'ore 20, per suffragio de' medemi, invigilera' che da Fratelli si reciti nella nostra Chiesa l'Officio intero di requie'. Il giorno successivo alla morte viene fatta celebrare una messa cantata con l'assistenza di 33 'povere vedove preventivamente invitate' alle quali viene distribuito in segno di ricompensa un giulio ciascuna 'per suffragio di quell'anima'. Il denaro raccolto dalle cassette delle elemosine dovra' essere impiegato per la celebrazione di altre messe. A tal fine sara' redatto un libro nel quale compare da un lato il nome del giustiziato e dall'altro il denaro raccolto durante le messe celebrate per lui. Si allega un foglio sciolto (cm 20 x 27,5) con stemma della Confraternita xilogr. in testa. Si tratta del foglietto che veniva distribuito alle 'carissime sorelle' per invitarle a presenziare alle oblazioni delle messe.

Psalmi, litaniae et preces quae a' Societate Misericordiae sub invocatione Sancti Ioannis Decollati nationis Florentine in Urbe dici solent pro iis qui morte damnati ad supplicium deducendi sunt
In 16, pp. (8b) + 39 + (9b). Fr. nero e rosso. Bella vignetta inc. all'acq. al fr. raff. San Giovanni Decollato. Testo stampato in nero e rosso. Capilettera figg. Tarletto alle prime 5 cc. Antica cart. rustica. Rarissima raccolta di salmi, litanie e preghiere in lingua latina utilizzati dai membri della confraternita romana della Misericordia per accompagnare i condannati a morte nel momento estremo. Questa confraternita nacque a Firenze alla fine del 1400 con il nome di 'Confraternita di San Giovanni Decollato dei Fiorentini' con lo scopo di confortare i condannati a morte durante gli ultimi istanti di vita, e, una volta giustiziati, di dar loro dignitosa sepoltura. Nel 1490, Papa Innocenzo VIII canonizzo' la loro opera umanitaria con una Bolla Pontificia. La Confraternita divento' quindi 'Privilegia Venerabilis Arciconfraternitas Sancti Joannis Decollati', detta della 'Misericordia della Nazione Fiorentina in Roma'. Il Papa concesse alla confraternita come sede l'antichissima chiesa di S. Maria de Fovea. Alla vigilia di un'esecuzione, i Confratelli uscivano da una porticina della casa dell'Arciconfraternita nei loro sai e mantelli neri, dirigendosi verso le carceri di Tor di Nona o di Corte Savella, al lume di candela, e accompagnati dal suono di una campanella, per annunciare al popolo l'esecuzione dell'indomani. Dopo la lunga veglia notturna, scortavano il condannato, confortandolo fino alla fine. Quindi lo seppellivano nel chiostro della Confraternita, attraverso sette botole i cui coperchi di marmo portano ancora la scritta 'Domine, cum veneris judicare, noli me condemnare'.

Remonstrance a' Messieurs de la Cour de Parlement sur le parricide commis en la persone du roy Henry Le Grand
In 16, pp. 28. Br. coeva. Libello antigesuitico pubblicato subito dopo il regicidio Henry IV Le Grand, avvenuto per mano di Ravaillac. Questi, fanatico cattolico, perseguitato da visioni, si convinse che il Re volesse far guerra al Papa. Decise di ucciderlo, cosa che fece il 14 maggio 1610 in Rue de la Ferroviere, pugnalandolo sulla sua carrozza. Durante il processo, nonostante le torture cui fu sottoposto, non rivelo' di avere altri complici. Mori' il 27 maggio, squartato da 4 cavalli, tra atroci torture. Subito dopo si scateno' una feroce diatriba tra coloro che indicavano i gesuiti come i mandanti del regicidio, e i gesuiti che, con alcuni scrittori come il Mariana, Coton e il Bellarmino, arrivavano addirittura a sostenere la legittimita' del tirannicidio quando il sovrano fosse eretico o senza una forte convinzione religiosa. Quando il 6 giugno il parlamento emano' un 'arret' che condannava il tirannicidio, inizio' la lunga querelle portata avanti a forza di libelli, perlopiu' anonimi quelli antigesuitici, con autore dichiarato invece quelli redatti dalla Compagnia. Il primo a comparire e' proprio questa 'Remostrance' con la quale si afferma che la mano di Ravaillac fu armata dai buoni padri. Tornando pero' al regicidio di Ravaillac, occorre considerare che se in ogni infrazione c?e' un crimen majestatis e nel piu' infimo dei criminali un regicida in potenza, il regicida a sua volta e' il criminale assoluto. Invece di fare la lotta al potere, attaccando la volonta' del potere sovrano, egli ne attacca il principio nella persona fisica del Principe. La punizione ideale per il regicida dovrebbe formare la somma di tutti i supplizi possibili: la vendetta infinita. Non esistendo una pena specifica per questo reato, per Ravaillac era stato necessario inventarla, combinando tra loro le piu' crudeli. Lo stesso accadra' nel 1757 a Damiens, fallito regicida di Luigi XV. Si puo' persino considerare che queste due atroci esecuzioni rappresentarono una moderazione dell?efferatezza della vendetta del potere, paragonata all?esecuzione dell?omicida di Guglielmo d?Orange nel 1582, durata addirittura 18 giorni. Cfr. Foucault, Sorvegliare e punire, p. 58. Duchini, Faire voir, faire croire, pp. 90-91.

; illustrated by Joe Maneely, Robert Q. Sale, Gene Colan, Art Peddy, Mort Lawrence, Werner Roth, Bob Powell, Don Heck
Atlas Comics Library No. 5: Police Action
Fantagraphics 2025. Hard Cover. New. Joe Maneely Robert Q. Sale Gene Colan Art Peddy Mort Lawrence Werner Roth Bob Powell Don Heck. Pre-Code cops and robbers' action from the early 1950s! The fifth stand-alone genre-themed collection in Fantagraphics' archival series of mid-century Marvel Comics. Before focusing on tales of justice via superheroes under the Marvel banner the publisher covered ground-level crime across a range of comics titles and true-crime magazines. Under the Timely imprint from 1947 and Atlas from 1951 up to eleven graphic series including Justice Comics Official True Crime Cases All-True Crime Crime Cases Crime Can't Win Crime Must Lose and Crime Exposed all muscled each other and competitors for space on the newsstands. For the first crime-themed volume in Fantagraphics' ongoing project to restore and resurrect pre-Marvel pulp classics the Atlas Library has selected a book that debuted as the genre peaked just before a Senate hearing and the institution of the Comics Code banned the use of the word "Crime" from even appearing in a comic's title. Escaping that fate Police Action had a seven-issue run of violent and noir-ish morality plays pitting the officers of the law against the forces of urban malevolence and was produced by the cream of the Atlas freelance roster including Joe Maneely Robert Q. Sale Gene Colan Art Peddy Mort Lawrence Werner Roth and Bob Powell. Rounding the volume off also presented is a post-Code one-shot Police Badge #479 a snapshot of the industry's attempts to adapt to new strictures on the genre: here we view "our boys in blue" in the fight against rank corruption highlighting the work of Don Heck and Joe Maneely. 254 pages. Full Colour illustrations. 8" x 12" 198mm x 297mm. 2.5 Fantagraphics hardcover

[COOK: DEATH] WEBBER, John, engraved by Francesco BARTOLOZZI and William BYRNE
The Death of Captain Cook In February 1779 by the murdering Dagger of a Barbarian at Carakakooa in one of the Sandwich Isles. He having there become a Victim to his own Humanity. The Distressing Scene is Part of the Original Plate after Webber by Messrs Bartolozzi & Byrne
London: Sold in Spur Street Leicester Square 1784. Small crease in lower corner in good condition. Oval engraving 350 x 265 mm. image size; mounted. <p><p>Rare variant of the famous engraving of Cook's death showing as the caption notes "Part of the Original Plate after Webber" and presumably quite literally printed from an oval cut from the fuller engraved copper. This is only very rarely seen: the single example noted by Joppien and Smith was in the British Museum. </p> <p>The full-size engraving was first issued early in 1784. Based on the oil painting executed by Webber soon after he returned to London in 1780 the figures were engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi and the landscape by William Byrne. Quickly becoming the most famous of all eighteenth-century depictions of the massacre the view appeared at about the same time as the official third voyage account was published. This was no coincidence: although lavishly illustrated by Webber the official account did not include any depiction of the most famous scene of the entire voyage the death of Captain Cook. As a result the iconic engraving is often seen bound into extra-illustrated editions of the third voyage account.</p> <p>Reflecting the general opinion prevailing in published accounts of the voyage the original image as Joppien and Smith argue appeared to show Cook as 'an innocent victim killed in the act of pleading for peace'. This is here heightened by the changed composition as the oval shape dictates a radically different impact to that of the original engraving omitting the dramatic conflict between the British sailors and the Hawaiians and thus implying a scene in which Cook his arm raised in supplication to his men offstage stands alone and is overwhelmed by a seething crowd.</p> <p>The only copy noted among Australian holdings appears to be the heavily clipped copy in the National Library of Australia part of the Nan Kivell collection.</p> </p> .
