A handsome illuminated commissione appointing the Venetian nobleman Andrea Malipiero to the captaincy of the strategically important city of Capodistria, which would remain under Venetian control until 1797.

235 x 161mm. i + 24 leaves, complete, 26 lines, ruled space: 175 x 101mm, title-page with full illuminated border with roundels and coat of arms of Andrea Malipiero (some marginal staining, small losses of pigment to border on f.1, lower edge cut on f.24). Contemporary red morocco tooled in gold (edges rubbed, small cracks to spine).
