Description
1684 History of Great Britain England Westminster BANNED Gregorio Leti 4v RARE



Gregorio Leti was a notable 17th-century Italian historian who is known for having each of his published works placed on the Prohibited Books Index. These works were mostly a satirical approach to the Catholic Church and included his perspective on the magistrates and rites of the Court of Rome and the Catholic Church.



One such work was Il Teatro Britannico, a collection of anecdotes on the history of Great Britain offering descriptions of wars, kings, cathedrals and churches, as well as an early description of Westminster Abbey!
