Specialist Notes

Silloge of texts of a religious nature, which opens with the Panegyric of the Immaculate Concept, and then moves on to the Selva to compose sermons or Lenten, to the different Letters of Giuseppe Brogi Distinto in different chapters, to a Collection of different Poems from meters different (sonnets, eclogues etc.). The second part of the codex opens with a Preface to the Reader where he reaffirms the pedagogical and delightful value of poetry: "... in no other art the soul is raised more, and more delighted than in Poetry". Followed by 57 pages of poems, mostly sonnets, not only of religious subject. & Nbsp;
Giuseppe Brogi was a priest but above all arcade in Rome between 1726 and 1772, the year of his death. "Brogi's main activity, the one for which he achieved great fame, was sacred eloquence for many years: between 1750 and 1770 he regularly preached in many churches in Rome; but only one document remains of these works: the Panegyric prayer of St. Stanislaus bishop of Krakow and protomartyr of the kingdom of Poland, said on the feast of the same saint in the current year MDCCLIV in the royal church of the Polish nation , & nbsp; Rome 1754. (...) & nbsp; Most of these occasional poems celebrate the salient aspects of the pontificates of which B. witnessed; or are addressed to honor this or that saint. ".
Interesting, to study.
