From the library of Italian Renaissance historian, Cecil H. Clough, this presentation copy of Italian antiquary and author’s privately printed work collects a series of letters discussing objections raised to his work on Roman history in relation to the 3rd century BC settlement of Camerinum, in the modern day area of Macerata in Italy. The inhabitants, Camertes Umbri, confederated with the Romans in 310 BC. A very good copy (light spotting throughout; light upper marginal moisture mark to last two sigs). Worldcat locates a sole copy at SBB-PK; ICCU 4 copies.
