拍品專文

The first edition of Capparoni's Raccolta della Gerarchia Ecclesiastica was published by the Roma Presso in 1827 with 70 numbered plates. Colas does not mention any later edition, although he does note that some of the plates are after those in Ferrari's Costumi Ecclesiastici (1823). The plates in this copy are dated 1827-29, but they are not all numbered. It may therefore be incomplete if, as seems likely, plates from other works have been added.
