Bellarmino a due libretti, uno de quali s'intitola Risposta di un Dottore in teologia, ad una lettera serittagli da un Rever. suo amico, sopra il Brevz si Censure dalla Santita di Paolo V publicate contra li Signori Venetiani. Et l'altro trattato, & revolutione sopra la validità delle Scommuniche di Gio. Gersone teologo, & Cancelliere Parisino ; tradotto dalla lingua latina nella volgare con ogni sedeltà, in opusculi due. Roma, Appresso Guglielmo Faciotto, 1606, et restampata in Ferrara, nella Stampa Camerale, 95 pp. followed by 2 BOVIO (Giovanni Antonio): Risposta del P. Maestro Gio. Antonio Bovio da Novara carmelitano alle considerationi del Padre Maestro Paolo da Venetia, sopra le Censure della Santità di Papa Paolo Quinto contra la Republica di Venetia. Roma, Appresso Guglielmo Facciotto, et in Bologna, 1606, 158 pages. 2 works in 1 volume, 10 by 15.3 cm. Muted 19th century covers. Small wetness in the lower margin of the first 10 ff. of the 1st work, otherwise very good condition. Interesting combination of two works refuting the positions of the Venetian Republic, which contested the Pope's temporal power. 1) Ferrara printing, published the same year as the original. Rare. IT \ICCU \UBOE\ 117769. The Republic of Venice commissioned Paolo Sarpi and various theologians, including Marsili, to defend its policies. They published two incendiaries, which Bellarmin refutes in this work, first published in Rome in 1606 and reprinted the same year in the main cities of the Papal States. This Ferrara edition is rare: the ICCU locates only 3 copies. 2) Edition published the same year as the original in-4. IT \ICCU \UBOE\021629. Sarpi also published his considerations on Paul V's censorship, denouncing it. Father Bovio, provincial of the Carmelite order, responded with this work, in which he justifies Venice's excommunication.
