From dust jacket: Mozart’s librettist friend and libertine comrade of Casanova poet to His Imperial and Royal Majesty Joseph of Hapsburg banished refugee from many capitals of Europe founder of the Italian Opera House in New York -- Lorenzo Da Ponte was a man of diverse talents and rare vitality. Born in Italy in 1749 he spent the last thirty years of his life in nineteenth century New York as a distiller bookseller and first Professor of Italian Literature at Columbia University. An adventurer perhaps a rogue Da Ponte is nevertheless a gifted representative of an extraordinary period of history. These memoirs written in Italian and first published in New York have long been unavailable in English.

Bergin of Yale University the volume is richly illustrated with prints documenting the life of this remarkable man. The Orion Press, (1959). hardcover books

"Q. Does God's holy law permit rebelliousness against one's temporal Sovereign R. Never indeed condemns it highly; for the sacred writing which as you know is the very word of God declares that the High Official Podesta does not come from God but whoever resists him resists precisely the ordination of God and thus proceeds to damnation." Thus begins Count Monaldo Leopardi's 1776-1847 counter-revolutionary Catechism on Revolutions arguing that Christianity and the French Revolution are incompatible that the rebellion is an ignominious revolt against the metaphysical and social order established by God and that tradition is more important that abstract concepts of liberalism. Meant for use in schools it was one of two essays published by Leopardi in 1832. Two editions were published in 1832 both rather uncommon.
