Palmaverde

Il Corso delle Stelle osservato dal prognostic moderno Palmaverde almanacco Piedmontese per l’anno 1814.

Torino, nella stamperia di Carlo Fontana. [1814].

24mo. pp. 196. Including fine woodcut frontispiece, diagrams, headpieces, etc.

In original waxed boards with decorative tooling. Wear along joints, bumped and rear board stained. Internally clean.

Only one copy found on OCLC.

Rare example of the famed Piemontese Palmaverde almanac. Although largely discarded in favour of the Calendario della Real Corte in 1774, copies continued to be published well into the 19th century. As well as astrological predictions, the work also provided a wealth of information on social, scientific and economic progress, in addition to the happenings at court, and religious and political circles.
