With the printer's device on the title page and the woodcut coats-of-arms of Philipp II for each one of his many titles. Later stiff vellum vellum, manuscript title on spine. Marginal foxing and staining, but a good copy.</p> <p> </p> <p>First edition. “Giacomo Mainoldi Gallarati, a member of a patrician family of Cremona, had a distinguished career as a jurist and office-holder in the Milanese dominion of Philip II, and at the end of his life was president of the senate of Milan. He was the author of <em>De titulis Philippi Austrii liber</em>, a survey of the medieval history of the imperial title and the modern domains of his sovereign. It was published in 1573 in Bologna, where Mainoldi was a student and where he resided in the home of Carlo Sigonio […] Sigonio mentions both father [Giovanni Battista] and son amongst those to whom thanks were due for the assistance in the preparation of <em>De regno Italiae</em> (1576). <em>De titulis Philippi Austrii</em> bears a certain resemblance in both the nature of contents and their organization to the anonymous <em>Historiae tractatus</em> composed circa 1570 by a student and boarder of Sigonio, the identification of whom with Giacomo Mainoldi Gallarati is here offered as a possibility” (W. McCuaig, <em>Carlo Sigonio: the Changing World of the Late Renaissance</em>, Princeton, NJ, 1989, p. 69; see also G.C. Ruginelli, <em>Tractatus de senatoribus</em>, Milan, 1697, pp. 37-38).</p> <p>At leaf 84 begins the chronological table with the succession of all the titles associated to the crown of Spain up to Philipp II. Leaves 26v-37v are dedicated to the discovery and conquest of the oversea
