With a large title page woodcut see below and unusual intricate woodcut initials. A search of KVK OCLC EDIT16 and Universal STC finds only a single copy Biblioteca nazionale Vittorio Emanuele III Naples. An extremely rare Neapolitan printing this copy once owned by nuns of a life of Saint Agnello "Aniello the Abbot" co-patron saint of Naples b. ca. 535- d. ca. 596 responsible in life and in death for numerous miraculous healings. The title page woodcut depicts the Saint towering over Naples carrying a banner protecting the city from the Lombard invasion of 581. The book is replete with accounts of miraculous healings including exorcisms performed by the saint. The book is listed in EDIT16 under the name of "Petrus Subdiaconus" 10th c. monk of Monte Cassino and sub-deacon of St. Januarius in Naples. However the text is not in fact a translation of Peter's life of Sant'Agnello "Libellus Miraculorum" but rather a new composite work by the 16th c. Augustinian Canon Giovanni da Napoli who cites several sources for the saint's vita f. 4v-5r. The title page tells us that this Vita has been translated from the Latin original which I have thus far failed to trace. The dedication -to the Neapolitan noblewoman Vincenza Montalto the content of the book and the provenance indicate the book's strong appeal for women. An early inscription see provenance note above indicates that the book was owned by the nuns suore Custodia and Ginobia Genovia Carrafa possibly daughters of the woman who penned the inscription Vittoria Caraffa. The Vita begins with the story of Sant'Agnello's conception which strongly mirrors the birth of Christ. The first chapter focuses on the experience of the Saint's mother Giovanna a barren "sterile" woman who prayed before an image of the Virgin Mary for 30 days in the hopes of conceiving a child. On the 30th day the image of the Virgin glowed and from it emanated a voice that announced to Giovanna that she would give birth to a boy. Soon thereafter women began to flock to the image of the Virgin still preserved in the author's time in the Church of Sant'Agnello in the hope of conceiving children. The Saint: Born in Naples Agnello was the scion of a prosperous family of Sicilian origin and perhaps a relation of Saint Lucy with whom he is still closely associated. Agnello spent his youth living as a hermit first in a cave and later in the church of Santa Maria Intercede now Sant'Agnello Maggiore. The story that he saved the city of Naples from the Lombards in 581 while widely-known is not found in Pietro's life of the saint. He died at the age of 61 while a priest in the church of Santo Gaudioso which had been founded by African clergy fleeing the Vandals. Agnello's jawbone is preserved as a relic in a 17th c. reliquary in the Naples cathedral. His body is buried in Sant'Agnello Maggiore in Caponapoli. The saint's cult is still active. His feast day is December 14th. per maestro Ioanne Sulsbach [Giovanni Sultzbach] Alemano hardcover books
