*MORLINI (Girolamo). Novellae. Paris, , . In-4 of CX-[6] ff. marbled boards. Neat handwritten copy, undated (c. 1800), of the 1520 edition of G. Morlini's short stories by Giovanni Pasquet de Sallo in Naples. "Most of the tales are very vulgar, and the actors are very often Priests and Monks; this is why it is surprising that it is printed with the privilege of the Emperor and the Pope. Nothing else is known about the author, except that he was from Naples, and a jurisconsult. Straparole put into his Facétieuses Nuits many of the tales and fables contained in this book..."" Handwritten note at the head of the copy in the Bibliothèque de feu Paulmy d'Argenson, reproduced in the preface to the 1799 edition of Morlini's Œuvres. ""The obscenities which reign in this work & especially in the last piece (the Comedy) which are marked with the corner of the Genius of the Arétin, made several people say, that it was necessary that the Neapolitan Lawyer, author of this book, had been certainly or the Master or the Companion of this ordurous Satyrique"" Bibliographie de Debure, n°3713, p. 90 tome II of the Belles-Lettres, taken again in the preface of the edition previously quoted.
