Specialist Notes
Rare third edition. "Pirro's Sicilia Sacra remained unfinished due to the author's death in 1651 and was intended to contain information on the Cistercian order of Saint Bernard, the Canons Regular of Saint Augustine, and the religious orders of chivalry. Mongitore and Vito Maria Amico decided to complete this work [...] publishing it in Palermo/Venice in 1733" (Moncada lo Giudice 1782).
Brunet IV, 675; Coleti 214; Lozzi 5064; Mira II, 225.
