[PUGLIA]. STAFFA, Giovanni Luca (1622-1682). Relazione della consegna del Sacro Deposito di San
Stephen, Trani [1656]. [BOUND WITH:] Ritrovata del corpo di S.Stefano. Trani: Valeri, 1622 [but 1656].
Curious and scarce work printed in Trani reporting three texts concerning the translation of the body of St Stephen (Pope Stephen I) to the Church of Santo Stefano dei Cavalieri in Pisa. The version reported here differs from the classical sources in claiming that the Saint's body lay not in Rome, in the Basilica of San Stefano in Capite, but rather outside Trani, at the convent of Santa Maria di Colonna.
4to, (200 x 140 mm). Engraved frontispiece (light spotting and browning, wormtrack from quires G to O not touching text). (1)
