For Sale: Le Armature di S. Maria delle Grazie...

Post by ChadA »

Full title: Le Armature di S. Maria delle Grazie di Curtatone di Mantova e l'Armatura Lombarda del '400

This is one of the rarer titles in the pantheon of arms and armour books. It was published by Bramante in 1982 in a limited edition of 2,000 copies (this is #1315). It covers Lombardic armour of the 14th-15th centuries generally as well as a specific deposit of harnesses in a church in Mantova (Mantua). That deposit is one of the largest collections of armour of that region/era in the world. Text is in Italian. There are over 530 pictures (black and white and quite a few in color) of armour, period art, and the occasional weapon, plus around 200 line drawings and photos of armourer's marks. Overall, it's right about 300 pages.

Condition is good. The cloth bound book itself is in very good shape, with a little foxing. The dust jacket is covered with clear contact paper and appears sturdy/sound.

This title is hard to find and expensive when you can find it. See here.

Asking $490 or best offer plus shipping. Paypal preferred. Trade offers (especially from makers) will be entertained. :)

New price: $480 OBO + shipping. Interesting trade offers will be considered.

This is an extremely rare book (this is the only copy I’m aware of for sale on the net at the moment) and is an excellent resource for 15th century armour.

This is one of only two copies out there for sale that I’m aware of and this is the cheaper of the two. :)

Now $455 or best offer + shipping. This what I would consider a fairly shockingly low price on this. :)

Interesting trade offers considered, but cash preferred.
