"L'étude de la bibliographie, si aride en apparence pour qui ne la considère que superficiellement, est loin, pour qui l'examine de plus près, d'être dépourvue d'un certain charme; elle offre à l'esprit observateur bien des faits curieux, bien des anecdotes piquantes, bien des rapprochements singuliers.

UBALDINI, PETRUCCI. [Liber precum.] [About 1580.] Sm. 8vo. MS. on paper written in a beautiful Italian hand with gilt capitals. In the original but worn binding.

He was the author of "Le Vite delle donne illustri del regno d'Inghilterra e del regno di Scotia &c. G. Wolf. 1591." 4to, and some other pieces. UBEDA, FRANCISCO DE.
