"First edition of this important chronicle of the author's hometown of Bologna in ten parts which cover the period up to 1247. Bound at the end is the separately published eleventh fascicle, and the last published by the author, bringing the chronicle up to 1253. . . . Leandro Alberti (1479-1552) was an Italian Dominican historian. . . . He was a close friend of most of the contemporary literati, who frequently consulted him."
Two small manuscript collections documenting the impact of French Revolution on various sections of the French population - these would be great sources for students interested in working hands-on with manuscript primary sources of the era:
Collection of 11 manuscript documents: letters, declarations, proceedings of a police search for weapons, executed on the properties of De Bon, Chevalier de Saint-Louis, commander of the Garde Nationale in Savignac (Gers), in June 1791. 11 pieces, forming 42 pp.
Includes pieces by De Bon, and pieces addressed to him. Some pieces have marginal notes and comments in a different hand, and there is a list of executed people included which carries this note at the end: "on voudra bien observer que dans les départmens on s'est contenté seulement de faire un inventaire des armes qui se trouvoient chez les differens particuliers sans les enlever."
Section 'Homme-Arme' - Manuscript originating from the 'Section de l'homme armé' of the '7e administration municipale deparée' sub-section 'des enfants rouges', providing the lists of names of people who had a right to vote and the voting results, dated 27 february 1792. 7 pp. - (Followed by:) Voting list of the Assemblée générale of the Section des Enfants Rouges of March 2, 1792. 11 pp. - (Followed by:) A list of March 8, 1792. 1 page. - (Followed by:) Short proceedings of meetings of May 14, May 15, June 5, June 10, June 12, June 19, June 26, June 27, July 8, July 21, July 24, July 25, July 29, July 31, and August 3, 1792, all including lists of members present at the meetings. 'Sections' were basic political divisions and centers of Revolutionary activity in Paris. They played a dual role: first as geographic and administrative subdivisions of the municipality, and second, as foyers of the Revolution. The large number of poor in the sections, underestimated at 10 percent of the population, led to the establishment of lay committees on poverty (see at length: Historical Dictionary of the French Revolution, ii, pp. 885-889.) The lists of March 1792 contain the names of the citizens who have voted for the nomination of 7 commissaires of the Section, with the counting.

Diepenbeeck, Cornelis Bloemaert, and La Barre de Beaumarchais. Le temple des Muses: orné de LX tableaux où sont représentés les evenemens les plus remarquables de l'antiquité fabuleuse. Amsterdam: Chez Zacharie Chatelain, 1749.
Among the leading illustrators of the 18th century, Bernard Picart bridged the era between the late Baroque and the emerging trends of his own day. The illustrations update Marolles' important collection of classic stories derived from Ovid's Metamorphosis.
