From dealer's description: "Invitation to a 1667 lecture by the 20-year-old Lelio Trionfetti. Unrecorded. Lelio Trionfetti, Dottore di Filosofia, c’haverà il suo principio di Leggere sù le Publiche Scuole Giovedì prossimo 27. del presente hore 16. Supplica la gentilezza di V. S. Illustriss. ad’ honorarlo con la sua presenza, che glie ne professerà per sempre le dovute obligationi. Alle scuole. S.l. [Bologna]: s.n., [1667]. [16.3 x 13.8 cm], [1] f. letterpress invitation. Folds, minor toning, paper flaw in middle of sheet not affecting legibility, dated (“1667 27 Ottobre”) in manuscript in top margin. An unusual ephemeral item from 17th-century Bologna: This is an unrecorded letterpress invitation to a lecture by the 20-year-old prodigy Lelio Trionfetti (1647-1722) to be held at the Bologna Pubbliche Scuole on 27 October 1667. “An heir to Ulisse Aldrovandi’s teaching activity, Trionfetti garnered praise from some contemporaries for having been the first to introduce the methods of Descartes in the public schools” (D. A. Lines, p. 290). “Lelio was awarded the doctorate in philosophy on 12 July 1663, when only sixteen years of age. In 1667-68 he began lecturing on logic in the Bologna Studium and during 1673-74 through 1674-75 on philosophy. From 1676-77 through 1706-07 he is listed in the rotuli as a lecturer on medicinal simples; he was the first man not a physician to hold this post” (H. B. Adelmann, p. 1033). “Part of Bologna’s avant-garde, he directed the botanical garden, co-founded the Istituto delle Scienze, and taught (among others) Antonio Maria Valsalva (1666-1723) and Eustachio Manfredi (1674-1739). Manuscript copies of his botanical lectures especially survive (although he also wrote on fossils and other matters) and may repay further consideration. Trionfetti was one of the several members of the clergy who taught scientific subjects in the studium. He was ordained priest in 1680 (D. A. Lines, p. 207).
