Manuel Pinto da Fonseca 1661-1773 was the 68th Grand Master of the Order of Saint John of Jerusalem from 1741 until his death. In 1764 he negotiated with King Frederich II the Great of Prussia a re-unification of the Protestant Bailiwick of Brandenburg. But as Pope Clement XIII would not allow admission into a Roman Catholic organization of men viewed as heretics by the Church the agreement came to naught. Pinto undertook many buildings projects introducing the Baroque style throughout Malta. This is one of the earliest books printed by N.

Small folio. Old stiff boards using a leaf of a Hebraic ms. Rome Typografia del Popolo Romano 1588. First edition of this new revision of the statutes of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem founded in 1099. This is one of the finest illustrated books of the Roman mannerism. Its woodcut material is borrowed from the Blado edition of 1556. The splendid work contains portraits of 52 dignitaries from the Blessed Gérald and Raimond du Puy who set down the rules in 1137 to Grand Master Hugues de Loubens-Verdale. They are the work of Philippe Thomassin 1562-1622 from Troyes one of the best engravers of his time teacher of Jacques Callot and Nicolas Cochin. The other illustrations show with great accuracy of costumes scenes representing the order's central tenets ideological and charitable aims. Many of the plates show the Grand-Master Hugues de Loubens-Verdale and in two of these he is seen being made a Cardinal by Sictus V an event which ocurred in 1587. Of great importance are the maps of Malta and Valetta the city which had been built by the Grand-Master Jean Parisot de la Vallette 1494-1568 following the unsuccessful siege of the Turks in 1565; the Order had been invested with the island in 1530 by Emperor Charles V. Thereafter the Catholic branch changed the name into "Order of Malta". The fine unsigned title-page with its elongated figures is similar to the work of Jacques Bellange. This copy includes 8ff.
