Condition Report: First edition. Work by the Jesuit Leonardelli, dealing with faith, grace and predestination.

Annibale Leonardelli, 1623-1702, a Jesuit native to Rimini, was a lucky author of various works. Piantanida 4775. "Curious operetta in which nature, morality, politics, economy, etc. are explained in the form of dance, which ends up in the end of the world."
