A propos de cet article

Padua: Nella Stamperia del Seminario, appresso Giovanni Manfré, 1714. Quarto (36.5 × 25 cm). Contemporary interim card boards, spine and joints covered with marbled paper; [28], 300 pp. with 4 large folding copper engravings (measuring up to 68 × 86 cm) and numerous woodcut initials and vignettes throughout the text. Wide-margined, untrimmed copy; the engraved plates, woodcut vignettes, and initials in strong impressions; handwritten ex libris affixed to front counterfold: "Paola Trotti Taverna"; one plate backed on the verso with a few narrow strips of laid paper; endpapers with a few minute wormholes; else a clean, very good copy. First and only edition of this detailed description and discussion of the multi-day theatrum sacrum held in Verona on the occasion of the coronation of a miraculous image of the Virgin Mary. Richly illustrated with large folding engraved plates, the work is concerned not only with a precise account of the events themselves, but also with theological discussions of the elaborate architectural, artistic, musical, and pyrotechnic displays, the iconographic allusions, the materials employed, and so forth. Among other contributions, the volume also contains the libretto of an oratorio performed during the festivities, as well as the discussion by one of the planners involved, who describes the construction of an ephemeral festival structure, a "never-before-seen apparatus" (nè pria veduto Apparato), in all of its particulars. Images of the Virgin with the Christ Child modeled on the revered statue at Loreto were widespread. Numerous such copies were venerated, including one in the Theatine church of Santa Maria della Giara in Verona. After similar coronations had taken place in many other locations, the Theatine Order in Verona likewise resolved to celebrate such a ceremony. A prerequisite was that the local image should likewise be of considerable antiquity, venerated by the population, and, above all, miraculous. An investigation therefore had to be initiated. A representative of the diocese heard witnesses concerning the "miraculous graces" (Grazie miracolose) obtained through the intercession of their "Most Blessed Advocate" (Beatissima loro Avvocata). Among the testimonies were numerous accounts of sudden healings that were said to have occurred after prayers before the image. The principal evidence for these miracles and for the veneration of the image consisted of the many votive offerings affixed within the chapel. These included not only garments, ornaments, pearls, and jewels (Vesti, Fregi, Perle, Gioie), but also representations in wax and silver of healed or afflicted body parts, including hands, feet, arms, and heads, some of which hung suspended from the ceiling. These votive offerings were regarded as testimony to successful intercession and thus as "symbols of victory" (Simboli di Vittoria) and "trophies of conquered illnesses" (trofei d'infermità debellata). In this way, the work opens with an insight into the popular piety manifested within the church interior, a phenomenon that, in this colorful diversity of objects made from a wide variety of materials and in many different forms, has largely disappeared today. The author also refers to the abundance of votive offerings as a "mosaic of graces" (Mosaico di Grazie). After the coronation had been approved and decided upon, the Theatines elaborated the plan for the multi-day festival, which took place from Sunday, November 3, to Thursday, November 7, 1709. The spectacle had not only a sacred but also a thoroughly secular purpose. People streamed in from other cities to satisfy the "holy curiosity of their senses" (santa curiosità de' loro Sensi), but above all, in order to "increase the wealth and revenues of Veronese families through commerce" (per arricchir col commerzio le loro Famiglie di patrimoni, e di rendite più pingui) at the market held at the same time. Elaborate celebrations were held in three churches: Santa Maria della Giar.…
