Honorati Andrea
Ricerche di archivio sulla casa Honorati di Jesi e sulle sue alleanze dal XVI al XIX secolo
br. Basandosi esclusivamente su dati espunti dalle più disparate fonti archivistiche e bibliografiche, il libro ripercorre quattro secoli di vicende familiari dagli inizi del Cinquecento alla fine dell'Ottocento. Lo studio dapprima si sofferma sulle origini, tuttora incerte, della casa e si sviluppa quindi trattando dei singoli componenti di entrambe le linee primogenita e secondogenita, nelle quali ben presto essa si divise, ed in parallelo delle alleanze matrimoniali, cioè delle famiglie apparentatesi per via di matrimonio.

One corner very lightly bumped else fine.; Proceedings of the British Academy 104; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 192 pages; Within the great diversity of their world the assertion of origin was essential to the ancient Greeks in defining their sense of who they were and how they distinguished themselves from neighbours and strangers. Each person's name might carry both identity and origin - 'I am' . . . inseparable from 'I come from' . . .
