Specialist Notes
Rare work with an impressive iconographic set. Corbinelli, descendant of a Florentine family in exile in France, where he enjoys the favor of Caterina De 'Medici and Henry VIII, celebrates the splendor of the noble Florentine family of the Gondi, a branch of which he moved to France following Caterina. Here he had a rapid rise which gave France illustrious men of the church and of arms. The author boasted an ancient relationship with the Gondi family, as well as with the well-known humanist Iacopo Corbinelli. & Nbsp;
