Zanadio, Francesco Maria (fl. circa 1675)
Scuola Celeste Aperta da Maria Madre dell'Eterna Sapienza all'Anime sue Divote.

Venice: Apresso Antonio Bosio, 1679.

First and perhaps only edition, 12mo, engraved title, typographical title, 489 numbered pages, plus index; bound in full contemporary parchment over boards, becoming de-cased, 5 3/4 x 3 1/4 in.

Rare, only one copy in Worldcat, held at the Jesuit library in Rome, and apparently lacking the typographical title page, as the author's and printer's names are gleaned from the signature to the dedication only. Zanadio seems to have authored only two titles, both on the topic of the Virgin Mary.
