[KNIGHTS OF ST. STEPHEN]. Relazione della presa della fortezza, e porto di Seleucia, detta Agliman, In Caramania, and of two captain galleys, et other Turkish vassels. Florence: Giunti, 1613. A scarce work (OPAC SBN finds two copies only) with Landau provenance and only one appearance at auction (RBH) documenting a victorious feat of the Knights of St. Stephen against the Ottomans: 'The assault from the sea on ancient Seleucia, today Silifke, in southern Anatolia, corresponded to the seizure and sacking of a mighty fortress already used by the Knights of St. John, and had such a wide resonance above all for the symbolic value of a large-scale military action conducted entirely on Turkish territory. Above all, it corresponded to the revenge of the Knights of St. Stephen and Cosimo II for an episode that was still bitter. In 1612, the Turks had beheaded 40 Tuscans from the ship Prospera, which had been lost on the Turkish coast, and had posted them above the walls of that fortress. Cosimo II had therefore sent an expedition the following year to avenge the disgrace'' (Ciappelli, La guerra di corsa delle galee toscane contro Turchi e Barbareschi nel Seicento, attraverso relazioni e relaciones a stampa, p. 147) 4to, (230 x 160mm). ff. 4, Medici arms to title (some spotting). Early 19th century binding in marbled paper with title on cartouche. Provenance: Horace de Landau (1824-1903); Later catalogue card from the first half of the 20th century.(1)
