Specialist Notes
First edition of the most famous work of the Neapolitan intellectual Salvatore Spiriti (1712 - 1776). A staunch opponent of the Papacy, he was one of the most fervent promoters of the secular demands, opposing the interference of the Church in the government. In this work he lashes out against illustrious personalities of the ecclesiastical world who mocks in the Poetic Flowers at the end of the text.
