Libretto of the 1795 oratorio (David in the Cave of Engedi) by the German-born composer Simon Mayr who emigrated to Italy at age 25 and, as choirmaster at Bergamo, was Donizetti's music teacher. The current oratorio debuted in Venice with this libretto, apparently by Giuseppe Foppa (according to Franz Steiger, "Opernlexikon, I, 301). Bound in genuine Remondini 3-color woodblock wraps (illustrated in Milano and Villani, "Le carte decorate della Raccolta Bertarelli," #59).

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
