FIRST EDITION of the second part of the guide on Negroponte. The first part, titled Memorie istoriografiche del Regno di Morea e Negroponte, was published in 1685. The present lot is without the additional engraved title present in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek copy, but with a variant of the engraved armorial plate and with the 8 preliminary pages accounted for in the Italian SBN but not present in the BSB.
