Discorsi morali

From Maggs Bros. seller's notes: "The third edition of the Venetian physician Glissenti's (d. 1614) fulsome treatise on the psychology of death ... breaks new ground by investigating death at all levels of society. In his dialogues, he includes among his interlocutors a philosopher, courtier, captain, farmer, butcher, servant, beggar, lawyer, gondolier and an actress."
