Catalogue Note
RARE. ICCU records just 3 copies in Italy, and this does not appear in Watanabe-O'Kelly, nor was there a copy in the Kissner sale.
Coronelli's work records the celebrations in Rome for the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, which withdrew religious toleration from France and encouraged the persecution of Protestants. Due to the tension at the time between Louis XIV and Innocent XI, the French ambassador to Rome, the duc d'Estrées, considered that this event should be properly celebrated, as the Vatican showed no interest in doing so.
