1750 UNUSUAL FOLIO 1^ed Musanti Tabula Chronologica Rome Popes Constantinople

Giovanni Musanti’s “Tabulae chronologicae” is a rare and rather curious 18^th-century history book. Printed in one of the most bizarre formats, this book is a retelling of chronological events from the earliest of written history, through the use of tables, lists. and charts. It includes the lives of important Roman Caesars, famous popes, notable wars, ecclesiastical councils, and so much more. It is, however, the shape of this book that is the appeal.

This book is a double-tall book where the leaves are uncut on the top and bottom edges forming a view of four pages of text with every other leaf being blank. While the format is bizarre, the pages themselves are quite fine each with decorative floral borders. It is unlikely that another book will be found in such an unusual folio arrangement.
