Catalogue Note
First edition of Pincio's history of the city and prince-bishops of Trent, which was of great interest at this time as the Council of Trent had been called in 1542. The first part was dedicated to Cardinal Cristoforo Madruzzo, the prince-bishop of Trent, and second part was dedicated to Aliprando Clesio, the nephew of the previous prince-bishop of Trent.
Mendham's great interest in the Council of Trent was evident in his collection of 37 manuscripts, which he bequeathed to the Bodleian Library in 1858, almost all of which relate to Trent, and his monograph Memoirs of the Council of Trent (London, 1834). There are several pencil markings in book 12 of the second part of this work, where the opening of the Council of Trent is mentioned.
