In den WarenkorbFolio (195 x 316 mm). 64 pp. With a fold-out plan of the Cathedral. - (Bound with): Supplementum ad Monumenta Brixinensia edita Brixinae anno 1765, una cum epitaphiis et inscriptionibus in ecclesiis conterminis et vallis Pustrissae diocesis Brixiniensis, adjectum anno 1775. Brixen, Thomas Weger, 1776. 110, (16) pp. Two volumes b…ound as one in white half-leather by Hollnsteiner. Marbled edges. A rare and important and beautifully bound volume on the history of South Tyrol from the eighteenth century, from the library of Archduke Leopold Ludwig at Schloss Hernstein. The so-called "White Library" ("weiße Bibliothek") was comprised of books relating to the history and culture of all the Habsburg lands, all bound in handsome white half-leather, with the titles on the spine in gold, topped with the Archduke's crowned monogram. - Johann Resch (1716-82) was a cleric from Brixen who was highly active as an antiquary and historian of Tyrol in the later eighteenth century; his studies on the history of the diocese of Brixen are highly esteemed for their elegant and scrupulously precise handling of sources. This volume contains two of his works on the antiquities of the churches in Brixen and the nearby Pustertal. He published them at a critical period when many churches in Austria and Italy were being renovated and baroquised, and thus these works are vital testimonies to the contents of the churches in their medieval form, cluttered with a wealth of tombs and memorials from the previous centuries. - The Brixener Dom was massively renovated between 1745 and 1754, and Resch's work meticulously records the monuments and inscriptions of the medieval building, including a fine detailed fold-out plan. The earliest persons commemorated are Brixen's patron saints, Cassian (of Imola, a Roman martyr, d. ca. 305), Ingenuinus (the second bishop of Brixen, d. ca. 605), and Albuin (also a bishop, d. 1006), but the majority of the monuments stretch from the twelfth through the sixteenth century. Both clerical and lay figures are represented, and the inscriptions are mainly in Latin but many, particularly later ones, are in German. - Also included in this first volume are the monuments and epitaphs of the Church of Santa Croce (Ecclesia parochalis in Insula Sanctae Crucis), which was similarly remodelled in 1764 to serve as the principal seminary of Brixen, as well as a few other local ecclesiastical institutions, followed by an index. - The supplement, published eleven years later and bound together with the first volume, introduces additional material from Brixen and nearby as well as the Pustertal, and the epitaphs of bishops and canons of Brixen who are interred elsewhere. This second volume is also furnished with an index. - South Tyrol straddles what has long been one of the most important routes over the Alps, and consequently a rich region and an important crossroads of culture. The renovation of Brixen Cathedral in the mid-eighteenth century involved architects and artists from all over Italy and Austria. Although today an autonomous region of Italy, it was long part of the Habsburg domains. The presence of this work in Archduke Leopold Ludwig's library was an expression of the imperial and royal family's interest in the history of their considerable and far-flung dominions. This volume is both a valuable source for regional history as well as a unique historic object from the library of a Habsburg Archduke. - Title-page somewhat browned, very light foxing throughout, one annotation in an 18th-century hand, but in general clean, edges neat, little sign of use. Boards lightly shelfworn, binding otherwise in excellent condition. Inside the front binding bears the label of the binder: "Fr. Hollnsteiner, k. k. Hof-Buchbinder in Wien, IX. Bez. Schwarzspanierstrasse 3". - From the so-called "White Library" (Weiße Bibliothek) of Archduke Leopold Ludwig of Austria (1823-98), with his crowned monogram on the spine and stamp to first title-page.
