Giovanni Battista Casali manuscripts, ca. 1620-ca. 1648.

The collection comprises ca. 1600 pages of Latin manuscripts bound in four volumes. The first two might contain texts from earlier periods. They are not mentioned among Casali's printed works. Volumes 3 and 4 contain a mixture of chapters of his four books published between 1644 and 1650, and compilations from reference texts, a few of the latter in secretary hands. The fascicles were bound at random. The first volumes are cleaner and easier to read; the last two are rough drafts of the published books, heavily edited, corroded and stained. All volumes are paginated in pencil.

4 v. (ca. 1600 p.)
