Joachim of Fiore (1135-1202) Profetie dell' Abbate Gioachino et di Anselmo Vescovo di Marisco.
Venice: Presso Christofor Tomasini, 1646.
Quarto, woodcut device to title page; illustrated throughout with many allegorical woodcuts depicting Joachim's prophecies about the Pope; bound in modern half parchment with marbled paper boards; 8 3/4 x 6 1/2 in.
This Latin and Italian edition of Joachim's predictions contains many allegorical and symbolic images of the Pontiff reminiscent of an emblem book. Although Thomas Aquinas objected to Joachim's pseudo-religious and possibly heretical prognostications, Dante was a fan.
